I wouldn't under ANY circumastances.
Not responsible, his role would be that of enabler. Certainly more than a few of that death toll were from government attacks to control and coerce Pat's striking gold miners....

11. That's a pretty good question. |

The obvious choice seems to me "Orwellian Democracy", but that isn't much better. You see, we have a democracy, it's merely one in which the people are kept slavishly thoughtbound to the administration--where the leaders are demagogues.
Corporate Democracy?

3. How about the Salem Witch Trials, The Inquisition, The Crusades? |

These are the righteous, direct ancestors of those you mentioned, and any sort of "ethnic cleansing" is a first cousin.
