add:
and whether some of the examples cited above actually qualify as "GENOCIDE"...(soon to be another "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" word)..can probably be disputed....just on the definition of Genocide.

The international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in Articles II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide

"Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Answer 2

I know I'll get a lot of negative comments for this, but H.S. Truman WAS a genocide, and any inhabitant of the US agreeing with his decision is just supporting the belief that USA is the only country in the world, and that every other nation doesn't have humans, but mere tools to improve their own lives. I know there will be a day when the USA's ego cause them to declare war against the rest of the world, and sadly, USA vs. the rest of the world is a handicap for the world, mostly because in this USA-dominated world USA is good and anyone that disagrees with them is evil. Just take a look at the Iraqi children, enough of them have died to compensate for USA's next ten year of deceases. It's been the same since your country decided to rule the world: a ******* military base is destroyed, and you attack INNOCENT PEOPLE. To further advance the abuse, it's a "tough but right decision" if you decide to drop a forbidden mass-destruction weapon and kill 60000 INNOCENT lives to scare a country, but if anyone else even mentions a bomb, they're terrorists. How is that fair? It's not. It's "USA abusa" which means that your beliefs define justice only as any action that benefits your own ***. Disagreeing? Take a look at the Afghan war back in 2001-02. Which soldiers were counted as war heroes? USA only. Where did most of the army come from? Other countries, including Europe and South America.
I guess I've said enough, but the point stands still: "The goal justifies the means" is the eternal motto of an hypocritical country that believes only in themselves as the center of the globe.

Answer 3

Most Americans aged 50 to 60 consider Harry Truman as one of the great presidents ever in the United States. Why? Just read on my uneducated friend.
The US Military estimated that the Allies would lose as many as 850,000 troops in the invasion of Japan. Now where would all those 50 to 60 year olds be today if we had invaded the islands of Japan? Not living in this dimension of life. Also, it was estimated by the US Military that in excess of 700,000 Japanese civilians would be killed as a direct result of the invasion of the islands of Japan by the Allied Forces.
The two cities that were bombed lost an estimated total of 72,000 civilians as result of the Atom Bomb. Remember, there were many American and British Airmen being held prisoner in downtown Nagasaki. They were killed.
If anything, Truman is responsible for saving a great many Allied lives and those of hundreds of thousands of Japanese lives as well.

Answer 4

Just for historical accuracy, conranger1:

Harry Truman became President upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, not Dwight Eisenhower.

Answer 5

A person cannot be considered a genocide, a person can be charged with committing genocide against people of another country.

As far as its known Harry Truman was not a dictator like Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin. He only became President between 1945–1953 upon the death of President Eisenhower.

It is not a crime to send your military to stop dictators like Adolf Hitler.

Or to stop the Japanese.

Or in the case of Truman, sending U.S. Troops to serve in a United Nations action in Korea.

Answer 6

Dropping the bomb wasnt genocide, it was a decision to end a bloody conflict without piling on thousands more American lives.

Hitler was in the range of 6 million .

Stalin, some say, reached about 30 million dead under his regime.

Answer 7

I assume that you are referring to the use of the two atomic bombs used on Japan, authorized by President Truman.

First, genocide is the intentional destruction of entire group of people. Two atomic bombs did not wipe out the Japanese people.

Secondly, what choice did President Truman have? American military planners were expecting massive causalties in an invasion of Japan. This was based on experiences at Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Projections listed over 100,000 American causalties and over 1 million Japanese. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese (plus several American POWs) were killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but far fewer than would have died during an Allied invasion of the home islands.

Answer 8

I suggest that you look up the meaning of "genocide." It does NOT simply mean that many people have died.

By your current use of the work, you may as well say that the inventors of the automobile have committed genocide, since the automobile has been the cause of more deaths than war.

Answer 9

Did you forget to engage your brain this morning or is this your usual ignorance.

Answer 10

Such as?..............

Still another product of a broken educational system.
It's really obvious that no one teaches History anymore.
