Bruce, you may have missed the link I posted above. It only touches on the geneocides of the twentieth century and earlier. (No mention of at all of what happened in Asia or India). Sol claims moral high ground based on his Jewishness and the atrocities surrounding WWII, like this is worse than all of the others. It is simply the one best known and well-publicized, and most revisited. The Turks didn't treat the Armenians the same as the Nazis treated those they exterminated, they simply slaughtered them where they found them, is my understanding of the deaths of more than 1 million Armenians at the beginning of the last century. Any codified policy of wiping out another race is horrible--and to weigh them on a sliding scale is a pretty bizarre approach to "how bad was this genocide compared to others." They're all nasty all the way through.

Sol's characterization of the situation, to compare a moral choice that is embedded with medical decisions and good science to any war atrocities is inappropriate.
