  Sri Lanka: "Stuck in the Middle," to a Horrifying Extreme

  I think you have a point on your semantics argument.  Does it really matter if people sitting thousands of miles away sipping lattes, would technicly consider it a genocide?  Genocide is relative politician's word.  It is a genocide if they have an ulterior motive for getting involved.  If it is some economically unimportant place like Sri Lanka, Rwanda, or the Sudan then the politicians just shake their heads and say wow thats too bad.  The question should be is do we have a human rights crisis?  If we do then it means getting relief efforts going.  If not we wouldnt be talking about it would we?
