Re: Syndicate: [Fwd: The presentation on the lessons of the Rwandan genocide]]


About three months ago a documentary on BBC World was shown
saying actually the same, but with images. Belgian soldiers were
withdrawn leaving free space for the genocide. All were in fear
of a second Somalia. The US presidential spokeswoman was all
the time speaking of "continued acts of" sort of tribal killings.
Once she was asked how many "continued acts of" would sum
up to an actual genocide, she admitted not to be allowed to answer
this very question. -- If it was a genocide, why wouldn't someone
do something  about it? -- Some spoke about upcoming US elections,
but where were all the other nations?
