You're right - I meant 800,000, not 8 million.

I too am not fan of putting on trial people for war crimes on the international stage as some sort of fix all. This Wilsonian Idealism is always just taken advantage, every time.

Quick question, where did you get this number?

I believe even the highest estimate put the genocide at 1 million (maybe a little higher). The population is currently only 12 million. Even if you include the 2+ million displaced you are still stretching for 8 million, no? Of course if you cite this event as the catalyst for the Great African War (The two Congolese Wars) that might add on another 5-6 million but even that number is the highest offered.
