199. To be fair, I don't think the term existed while it was happening.

And I don't think the occupation of Iraq is comparable. The US isn't moving in and trying to kill off most Iraqis so that WE can replace them, which was essentially what Europeans did to the Native Americans.
The US wants to kill as few Iraqis as possible while killing those who still wish for an independent Iraq rather than a puppet state of the US. They want the obedient Iraqis alive so they can be a low-wage slave force to service the newly privatized and US-dominated companies there...
