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.
Rwanda was eventually declared a genocide. Darfur is not technically a genocide. I'm not saying it's any better, I'm just saying it's not a genocide. It's not the number of murders that constitutes a genocide. Who gives a damn about the stupid definition of genocide? Human rights groups all over the globe might. I guess "the America" (whatever the hell that is) doesn't give a ****, even though there were movements and marches and large organizations lobbying for the US government to aid in the ending of those disgusting actions. Where in the definition of genocide is a specific number mentioned? Or the Holocaust? What are you talking about? I doubt the US "didn't feel like" getting involved in Rwanda, but I agree that Somalia definitely affected the decision. A government's job is to serve its constituents as best it can, and after somalia, US involvement in Rwanda seemed like a bad idea in that it would decrease public support for governmental activities.
