   Actually, I doubt whether any of these acts are genocide. Stalin never   
   intended to kill off the Ukrainians, neither did the British intend to kill   
   off the Irish nor Indians.   
      
   The other issue is that the famine in Ireland was not man made, and the   
   Bengal Famine could be argued that it was a result of WW2, but I think it   
   should be considered an act of incompetence. There was certainly no intent.
