Rwanda.

Yes, true. The Rwandan genocide is right in there with the worst of them from throughout history.

And its happening right now. But it wont get any coverage now, or in the future, unless someone drags America in through violence against them.

I thought the Rwandan genocide was over and the one in Africa making the headlines these days was the one in Darfur, Sudan.

Too true. While I think the holocaust was one of the worst events in human history, theres a genocide in Africa now that most people couldn't give a **** about.

Darfur is pretty much the biggest humanitarian aid mission the world has ever seen. When the west stays back and lets these things take their course, we get blamed for not intervening. When we do intervene, we get Somalia circa 1993. After the backlash America got from that intervention why would we ever want to stick our necks out to stop an African genocide again?

Because having your government slated is hardly as bad as genocide now is it.
