In the second part of A Problem from Hell, genocides in Iraq, Bosnia, and Rwanda were examined.  In Iraq, during the war with Iran, Suddam Hussein had many Kurds killed or sent to buildings where he could keep track of them.  This was meant to keep all Kurds under control while the war was going on.  With death as a punishment, most Kurds obeyed.  In Bosnia, the government began to detain Muslims and Croats (people from Croatia).  The detained these people in order to stop them from becoming independant from the country.  The Croats had already declared independance, and the Muslims already relied solely on international connections, so the government began to become concerned.  In order to keep these groups from becoming independant, they were put into camps where thousands of people died.  In Rwanda, with the civil war going on between the Hutu government and the Tutsi rebels.  After Rwanda’s president was killed, the other Hutu leaders took extreme control.  Under their rule, thousands of Rwandans were brutally killed. 

All of these genocides occured because the government was trying to keep control during times of warfare and chaos.  However, it should never be acceptable to throw away the lives of people just for the benefit of the government.  It is truly evil that millions of people were slain just for this reason.
