My last post about "ethic cleansing", I promise.
Even if you're so twisted as to attempt to draw a parallel between Olympia
and real life ethnic cleansing, this ain't it. Ethnic cleansing is not
random destruction of anything that moves in a war zone. It's the systematic
destruction of of a certain ethnic class...based on race, color, religion,
etc. Newbies getting killed in Olympian warfare is NOT akin to ethnic
cleansing. They were not targeted and they were not singled out based on
their ethnic background. They are collateral civilan casualties. The kind
of thing that happens in all wars.
This ethnic cleansing thing is the worst analogy I've seen used in Olympia to
date. It's simply wrong.
