The UN are a bunch of morons as far as i'm concerned. They had the same reaction to the GENOCIDE in RWANDA in 1994. 800,000 murdered in 100 days. On top of the fact that the UN pulled all but about 200 of their peacekeeping troops out when the murders started, they refused to call it genocide! They danced around the question like they always do. Who gives a damn about a stupid definition of genocide? How many murders does it take to call it a genocide? Genocide is the plan to wipe out a race of people which is what happened in Europe, Rwanda and Sudan. Does it need to be 6 million like the Holocaust? After the Holocaust the world said "never again" and it IS happening in these poor African nations and it was happening in the Balkans w/ Milosovic. The difference is that the America doesnt give a **** about these poor ass countries with no resources. After the debacle in Somalia, the US just didn't feel like getting involved in Rwanda. Its a shame that the entire world turned a blind eye to those people and they hsouldnt do the same in Sudan. The point is to stop these things from happening BEFORE we have to debate whether or not it's "genocide" or not.
