As long as it isn't their government that is doing the killings it is ok then?  The U.S. has its own problems with organizations that are comitting hate crimes daily.  We should really take care of what is going on in our house before we tell others what to do in their's.

We are citizens of the WORLD. There should not be any lines drawn. All victims of crimes against humanity should be protected.

good idea it's the reason why I gave this idea http://www.change.org/ideas/view/a_new_process_to_support_the_two_old_survivors_of_the_nazi_labor_camps

Team America needs to stop playing World Police.

Are we going to quadruple the size of the Marine Corps to achieve this objectives?  Are we going to re-institute the draft so that American young people can fight and die to save other people overseas?

I have no quarrel with your idealism, but please realize that most food shortages are planned, most refugees were driven from their land by soldiers, and genocides are at least nominally backed by those in power or they would not occur.

This is what the human race does. We can not understand nor can we except so we distroy it. We are a race doomed to erase our selfs from life. Suck doesn't it?????????

well.. this would be a start for america if they did what you wanted.. considering we did this to the native americans.. "supposenly" we did this to german soldiers at the end of world war 2...and who knows what other countries we starved to death indirectly like iraq for example.. a desert country that counts on trade to hold the huge population.. the US deny them this trade ..which clearly would mean many have died and struggled..well you got my vote by the way.. lets hope we get some numbers..

I would vote for this with all my heart and soul (if they are two different things) except there is one problem - it is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house! America commited genocide against Native Americans, Africans through Slavery, we sport the largest prison population (mostly people of color) of all other countries - combined - and what are our wars on Iraq and Afghanistan but yet another genocide against Muslim civilians - did you hear about the train of death in Afghanistan? and why am I supposed to trust US to protect others?

Is any OIL, GOLD, etc there, NO then let them DIE ..... American Big Business Policy.

If you read these in order, they tell a story...

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato

"Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you." - Pericles

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson

"Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force. And, like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." - George Washington

"Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have." - Davy Crockett

"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet it was planned that way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrations), too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." - Thomas Jefferson

"All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, so much as downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation." - John Adams

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford

"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance." - James Madison

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Thomas Jefferson

"Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit." - Andrew Jackson

"If Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations." - Andrew Jackson

"The bold effort the present (central) bank had made to control the government ... are but premonitions of the fate that await the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it." - Andrew Jackson

"You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning." - Andrew Jackson, 1828

"A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks." - John C. Calhoun, Vice President June 27, 1836

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." - Thomas Jefferson

"The dominion which the banking institutions have obtained over the minds of our citizens...must be broken, or it will break us." - Thomas Jefferson

"The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks." - Lord Acton

"But if in the pursuit of the means we should unfortunately stumble again on unfunded paper money or any similar species of fraud, we shall assuredly give a fatal stab to our national credit in its infancy. Paper money will invariably operate in the body of politics as spirit liquors on the human body. They prey on the vitals and ultimately destroy them. Paper money has had the effect in your state that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice." - George Washington

"The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing." - William Paterson - (1658-1719) Founder of the privately owned Bank of England in 1694

(Remove "genocide" as redundant with mass atrocity)

Mass atrocity is one of the causes of countless other "symptoms" that include genocide, bombing children, nuclear murders, etc. Unfortunately, America is now singularly disgraced in the view of the world because of the Iraq involvment -- from the sanctions through the occupation -- which is viewed as a mass atrocity. In particular, the world's 1.5 billion Muslims are unlikely to "forgive and forget" and even if only 1% of them take action it's a massive terrorist threat.

It has also disgraced America. Gandhi said, "They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them."

To regain our national self respect we have to all this talk about "looking forward" because it distracts from the fact that most members of Congress since 9/11 are implicated in criminal behavior ranging from dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice to the seditious conspiracy involved in trying to redirect the loyalty of our armed forces from the Constitution to a delusional president. They have been stealing from our children and grandchildren by approving illegal expenditures. A number of them are also strongly implicated in murder by approving torture or by supporting the presidential lies defined by Vincent Bugliosi in his best-selling book. Who wants to "look forward" with that kind of leadership. Criminals want us to look forward so that they can keep their stolen money and avoid prosecution. No self-respecting citizen can tolerate such a lack of accountability.

A special prosecutor or investigative commission won't be enough to deal with America's mass atrocity in Iraq. Probably nothing less than an international war crimes tribunal is needed and President Obama should push to make our country an example rather than the exception. He should not let corrupt politicians, including those of his own party, take away our self-respect. As a nation, why not choose Justice?

This is an excellent idea, however, it does not appear to be ranked high enough to make the top ten by the time voting ends today. I encourage everyone who prioritizes the end of genocide to vote for "End the genodice in Darfur" (http://www.change.org/ideas/view/end_the_genocide_in_darfur) which is currently ranked 16th. Maybe we can bump it into the top ten so that Obama gets the message that putting an end to genocide is important to the voting public.
