“One man’s scorched earth is another man’s genocide.”

Sounds like Michael Moore defending the 9/11 hijackers and Al Qaeda. But with even less justification.

Risible. Burning barns and houses is not Einsatzgruppen or Auschwitz or the killing fields of Cambodia. Doubly so when the area in question is far smaller than the cultural domain; no threat to the entire culture or race.

Words matter, one cannot have a meaningful dialog with someone who changes the meanings of words to be whatever he wants them to be. It’s like arguing with a 2-year old.
