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.
