I first heard the phrase "ethnic cleansing" to describe the shit going on in former Yugoslavia during Clinton's time. There was discussion then that it was being used because to use "genocide" meant that the UN was obligated under its charter to step in and stop it. Nobody wanted an all out war in Yugoslavia, so they used the "ethnic cleansing" phrase to talk about genocide in code.

Are you trying to say Bush invented the phrase/idea of ethnic cleansing?
