Genocide

I was certainly NOT trivializing the term Genocide. I have great sympathy for Andrew Johnson's concerns over the colonization of West Irian and the displacement and disempowerment of the Indeigenous People. 
However having said that I must reiterate that the cases I referred to are clearly GENOCIDE as legally defined by the UN Genocide Convention: mass avoidable death (MAD) associated with an intent to destroy a country or a people in whole or in part. That empirical INTENT is revealed by the SUSTAINED EXCESS MORTALITY and threat to life in ALL cases. The smallest of these Genocides in my letter to Australian MPs was the ongoing Aboriginal Genocide - Professor Paul Zimmet of Monash University, a top Australian diabetologist, says the situation of Indigenous Australians is so dire they may actually vanish by the end of the century. Genocide indeed.
