Take a moment of silence to contemplate "genocide"! The real "genocide" - not as it is bandied about carelessly by people to further agendas. No. I mean genocide as in the killing of the Jews by Hitler, Armenians by Russians, Chinese by the Communists (read about this in Dean's post too), Bengalis by the Pakistanis, Kashmiri Pundits by the terrorists..... Take a moment to try to wrap your mind around their pain - try to understand and to help and heal if you can, but never forget! Never, ever forget! It is important to remember so that we don't repeat these blots on the human civilization.

The history of humankind is ripe with examples of atrocity - only memory, and a diligence to prevent new stains on history, will stop the next horror.

I think we can add to that the Bengal Famine during the second World War, which has caused thousands of deaths - it was a result of British policies trying to ensure Indian Freedom-fighters didn’t team up with the Japanese.
I agree with your points too.
