Victory or Genocide?

[Macedon]

"Genocide", which actually only means mass murder (or exile) of civilians of a particular ethnic, religious or other affiliation, is a recent ethical issue. It played very little role in those and much later times and judging any civilization by its ethical values is something so subjective that any discussion on it is almost surely doomed to fail, especially when juxtaposed with what an average 21st century Westerner considers moral.
