10 years since the Rwanda atrocities: Let's not forget.
I distinctly remember the Rwanda genocide. Since then I have read a few books on the incident while earning my BA. Something that seems to have been forgotten. Let's not forget.

1. Who's fault was Rwanda?
Did we do that too?

2. We didn't do anything...
and we could have easily. It wouldn't have cost us hundreds of American soldiers lives and hundreds of billions of dollars to make Haliburton and Enron stockholders richer. For a few thousand troops and a few million dollars, a million Rwandan lives could have been saved, but since there's no oil in Rwanda, the US along w/ the rest of the world, stood by and watched the genocide take place.

3. It was our fault..
for not doing anything to stop it.

The UN is most culpable.

4. I just watched the 2 hr FRONTLINE
on PBS. It was horrific genocide. The images of the dead matched the WWII holocaust.
