Iraqis are committing Genocide

On the News Hour yesterday an Iraqi said that many Iraqis are changing their last names so as not to be identifiable by their religious sect. He said that they get rid of their IDs so they do not have to show them at, possibly fake, check points, for fear of being kidnapped and murdered. When people are specifically being targeted, terrorized and slaughtered by the hundreds, day after day, solely because of their ethnic or religious affiliations, it is genocide. It is what Hitler did to the Jews.

Mass murder is what Saddam Hussein practiced. He had a few incidences, where he killed hundreds of people, but he did not continually murder Kurds or Shia's. He murdered them in response to an assassination attempt or in revenge for an uprising. What is going on now is entirely different. That they are targeting only the men is another give away. After all the men of the other sect are anihilated the women will be up for grabs. Shades of Slobodan Milosevic.
