Don governments kill more of their own people than foreigners?
Yes, but it’s so much easier that way. I mean, they’re right there. You’d have to go elsewhere to kill foreigners. Actually, before I concede without a fight, I probably should point out that what you and I consider “their own people” is not always the same as what various tyrants considers “their own people”. Hitler didn’t consider the Jews his own people; Stalin probably didn’t consider the Ukrainians his own people; Leopold certainly didn’t consider the Africans his own people, nor did Saddam consider the Kurds his people. This is why your various whiny minorities get so nervous about being treated as second-class citizens. It makes them fair game.
