Re: C.J. Griffin. Correct. However, your statement is too obvious to lead to something useful. Let me remind you that the more loose the criteria for ""mass killing"", ""genocide"" etc. are, the more regimes fit these criteria. I can, for instance, develop your idea and claim that almost any totalitarian, authoritarian or democratic regime (excluding EU countries, but including present days USA) kills people. One way or the another, since Valentino restricted himself with mass killing, he, obviously left beyond the scope the issues of non-mass killings (as well as the question of the origin of life, of cold nuclear fusion, of God's omnipotence, and many, many others).
