Holocaust |
I was just wondering. What do you think are the chances of there being another Holocaust? If you do think there will be, what country do you think most likely to cause it? I myself think it's very unlikely, but if it could happen once, it could happen again.

But what is a holocaust? Hitler killed 6 millions jews, there's about 10-12 million left. If holocaust is "attempted genocide with phenomenal amounts of dead" then it happens all the time :
- Somalia in the 90s
- Bosnia in the 90s with 200000 dead, 2 million refugees
- Rwanda in the 70s almost a million dead Tutsis, 2 million refugees
- potentially in the Sudan today 50000 dead and counting
- the colonization of the Americas, effectively wiping out 99% of Indians in the Carribean and America north of Mexico
- East timor under Suharto (or is it Sukarno..)
Anyway, so yes, I think it has happened and will happen again. Perhaps not quite 6 million like the holocaust, but easily hundreds of thousands of dead going up to 1 million or more for the worst cases. It will no doubt happen in African, South East Asian, Middle Eastern or even Caucasian countries.
