  The U.S. still doesn't even recognize it officially as being genocide, so, no, it's probably not time yet. We're pretty much deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to genocide. We generally allow governments to kill their own people, and often other people, as long as they're brown. When they're white, we draw the line at them killing other people. Sometimes. https://clg.portalxm.com/library/keytext.cfm?keytext_id=52 https://clg.portalxm.com/library/keytext.cfm?keytext_id=52 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ghosts/themes/response.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ghosts/themes/... https://www.ushmm.org/confront-genocide/speakers-and-events/all-speakers-and-events/genocide-prevention-morality-and-the-national-interest/american-responses-to-genocide-and-mass-violence-in-the-past-transcript https://www.ushmm.org/confront-genocide/speakers-and-events/... http://www.internationaljusticeproject.com/american-response-to-darfur/ http://www.internationaljusticeproject.com/american-response... http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/09/bystanders-to-genocide/304571/ http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/09/bystande... http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/insidestoryamericas/2012/11/201211295425270859.html http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/insidestoryamericas/2012... http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/27/opinion/congo-war-ignored-vava-tampa/ http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/27/opinion/congo-war-ignored-vava...
