I don't condone either the Indian or Vietnam wars, but they don't qualify as genocide, and they don't even BEGIN to compare with the Holocaust (that's how you spell the word, you dumb fuck). In the Holocaust, approximately 6 million Jews, and 3 million Gypsies were systematically singled out, deported, gassed, and then incinerated in what can only be described as an 'assembly-line of death.' So don't lump the US with the Third Reich.
