This is right there in the Koran.<BR/>So you don't 'have' to kill the women to kill the community. You really only have to eliminate the men of reproductive ages. This is why old men were sometimes spared, but not boys. Boys grow into men, if they are fed and cared for. <BR/>The other thing is that rape was widely committed,my theory is that this was done because it humiliates a woman and if it's done brutally enough or a woman contracts a disease as a result, she might not be able to have children. So there is a sick logic in what went on. So even if the women weren't killed, it's still genocide. Any action reaulting in the elimination of a community is genocide. it would be nice if guys like MacKenzie could get it straight. It's shameful that a person of Scottish ancestry would not understand this in his or her BONES because all the same sick stuff went on in the Jacobite wars. He must have been raised in one of those rare Scottish families that never spoke about history!Katja R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17813405984067905779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192194.post-1121608575216005862005-07-17T14:56:00.000+01:002005-07-17T14:56:00.000+01:00Eric,Here's a little piece of genocide denial from...Eric,<BR/><BR/>Here's a little piece of genocide denial from Canada's own General Lewis MacKenzie:<BR/><BR/>What happened next is only debatable in scale. The Bosnian Muslim men and older boys were singled out and the elderly, women and children were moved out or pushed in the direction of Tuzla and safety. It's a<BR/>distasteful point, but it has to be said that, if you're committing genocide, you don't let the women go since they are key to perpetuating the very group you are trying to eliminate. Many of the men and boys were executedand buried in mass graves.<BR/><BR/>The real story behind Srebrenica By LEWIS MACKENZIE<BR/><BR/>Globe and Mail (Toronto) Thursday, July 14, 2005<BR/><BR/>MacKenzie has come up with a new definition of genocide. If you kill the men and boys of a targeted group, but let the women live, it's not genocide, because the women can reproduce.<BR/><BR/>Let's put this absurd theory to the test. Suppose the soldiers of Country A invade Country B and kill all of the men and boys. According to MacKenzie this would not be genocide because the women could still have children.<BR/><BR/>In anywhere other than the absurd world of Lewis MacKenzie it takes two to tango. Who would be left to be the partners of the women of Country B?<BR/><BR/>No males would be left except the soldiers of Country A.<BR/><BR/>There is little sense debating the merits of this rather novel definition of genocide. It is little more than an attempt to try to mitigate the horror of what happened at Srebrenica. It deserves little more than our contempt.<BR/><BR/>Steve Albert<BR/><BR/>MontrealAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
