it targered specific individuals, not entire races\countries.
Genocide targets a group of people discriminated in terms of nationality, race and religion. Spanish Inquisition was the third. Woah, I'm so proud of the story of my country I think I am going to wave my red and yellow flag. Red for the blood of the jews we killed and yellow for the gold we stole from South America. Yay. Olé, olé, etc.

It's sad when we begin to classify ways that people have been murdered into sub-groups
Why is it sad? It's part of the richness of the language. The sad part is that those words have to exist, but yes, there are different ways of murdering people, and thus different terms. Hitler was a genocide, Jack the Ripper a serial killer, Oedipus a parricide (well, I don't know if thats the term in English) and Bush is a chimp that somehow got to direct a powerful nation.

I'd just hope a world where any kind of murder, be it a single homicide or a genocide is met with justice and that those who commit these horrible acts are caught and punished can still be possible
I agree with you. I believe Saddam should be judged (by the way, he was going to, but I see nothing about it in the press), but I also believe there should be a trial for Bush, Blair and Aznar: if USA, England and Spain were not democratic countires, do you believe the Azores trio would be so happy now? Makes me wonder whats the point of the laws. Of course, I haven't studied the laws a lot, but as far as I know, the war was considered illegal.

On the good part, Pinochet may be judged now, but of course, since he's old his ferocious lawyers seem to find there a reason why he could not face judgment. Damn, I would love that bastard to die in prison, rotting in a cell, he is probably the person to whom I wish more pain, along with Videla. Yeah, I know hating is not good.
