If a country is going to be blamed, the US easily bears the most responsibility in my view. The UN wanted to do something, but the US kept them locked up in channels debating exactly what constitutes genocide (and threatening an outright veto if they didn’t) until it was too late. The US claimed a humanitarian role in Somalia, but were really just protecting US interests (primarily oil). We didn’t have any significant interests in Rwanda and Somalia blew up in the Clinton regimes face, so they made the decision to let them die by not intervening. Clinton claimed ignorance, but the few UN troops present sent back very clear information about what was happening. All the US citizens leaving (not to mention everyone else from other countries) knew what was going down. Either the president was lied to or he lied about not knowing. I don’t see how the former was possibly and the misdirection in the UN points directly to the latter. In truth, it’s probably the banality of evil that preventing a genocide isn’t glamorous. It might cost soldier’s lives and people won’t be horrified because there aren’t stacks of dead bodies when everything is done (nobody notices when the system does its job). A cold, calculating politician would see the right thing is all risk and no visible reward. I guess Bill “Lolita Express” Clinton shouldn’t be accused of caring about other people’s well-being. Epstein didn’t kill himself and I begin to wonder if the couple dozen suicide victims whose death benefitted the Clintons so much were similar kinds of “suicide”. I guess that’s a question for another time though if true, could explain the kind of moral character that would allow such decisions.
