BS alert!! Why are you including WW2 or say Korea? Both wars started by others? The US was hardly alone in inflicting casualties during WW2, how many German civilians were killed by British bombings or Soviets at the end fot he war? Anyway caualties in war are a bit different from genocides. Japanese civilians casualties were 300-400000 AFAIK. |
BS Alert Indeed. Next time read what's written, not what you think is written. 
Here's some for you.

Thanks I needed that like to join me? I read what you wrote about non-democracies, I just don't think you can include casualties inflicted in the course of military ops in WW2 or Korea by democracies or non-democracies with these genocides.. I would consider a better comparison for what we are talking deaths in Iraq during the UN embargo, or of course what the native americans or slaves went through (not restricted to the USA but in varying degrees throughout the New World
) I never thought the USSR should be compared to Nazi Germany. You should know I have many close freinds from the ex-USSR and other East bloc countries they have said stuff similar to what you and CCIP have said. A real eye opener for me. Sorry if you took it personally.
