Genocide is a very, very specific word. Your examples do not qualify.
Middle Eastern countries had their borders carved out by the west, yes. For how long do we stay responsible for their actions? When do they get their free will back?
Vietnam was a loss, a disaster and a bad joke, all at American expense. One of the largest failures we've ever engaged in. It was not a genocide, we did not attempt to erase Vietnamese culture.
Your migrants case is your best example due to the amount of hate flying around these days, but you do understand that genocide takes more than not helping people, right? We are not feeding the starving people of the world, is that genocide because we do not give them all food?
Exactly. We, as people, espesically NATIONS, cannot tend to all issues at once. We simply can't. You touch on a very important point that has to be made.
