At the point in which a deliberate strategy or policy is developed to eliminate a population through any means that involves killing, and that strategy or policy is put into practice, that is the point at which a genocide becomes "in progress". However, at that point it cannot be said that a genocide has been committed. Only that one is in the process of being committed." 02 Feb 09 - 10:11 AM from CarolC

That is just about the most Orwellian statement you've ever made, especially in light of your quoting a definition of genocide later in your post.

When one cuts through the verbage, the quotation marks and the italics, what you truly have said is, "When the strategy or policy [of purposefully and systematically killing a population] is put into practice, it IS genocide." (and yes, I know you did not actually write those words, so don't tell me I put words in your mouth.)

If that is what you believe is happening, say so! Straight out! Take the kudos from those who agree with you, and the heat from those who disagree with you.

And I still don't know what you mean by an 'accomplished genocide'. I thought by now you'd have made a definition up.
