One 15 year old girl kept saying over and over while crying, "Where is my father?" and the looks on her face and everyone else there was of a people who have endured genocidal horrors. They are the survivors of a genocidal war against Shias, Tazidis, Christians and all other minorities not Sunni Muslim extremists by ISIS and the Islamic state.
There are at least 300,000 people in northern Iraq in danger of being genocided right now. This is the largest genocide being done right now by ISIS likely since the genocide of 6 million Jewish people in World War II. I can't remember a genocide this big since Pol Pot in Cambodia in "The Killing Fields".
Ivan Watson said this was the single most desperate traumatized situation he has seen since he has been a reporter. IN this case it is a genocide of entire ethnic groups of men, women and children and babies where the complete genetics of some families, tribes and groups will be permanently gone like during World war II with the 6 million Jewish people in Europe by the Nazis.
I have mentioned that the primary cause of genocide is overpopulation. When populations get too high in an area other ethnic groups kill everyone of all other ethnicities so more of their own people can survive.
The solution to genocide is birth control for areas on earth long term. Without that we are going to see genocides of whole ethnic minority groups over and over again on into the future in place after place here on earth.
