Not very informed on this one, dj, but yesterday i heard Stephen Lewis interviewed on CBC radio ... the culpability of Albright seems to have come from her opposition to the UN doing anything at all in Rwanda at the time - she wasn't just opposed to US involvement ... Dallaire wired for permission to act, he was denied, he asked for more men and they took away ninety per cent of the ones he had ... he was there on the ground, saw things developing ... there seems to be consensus that the acts he had in mind would have alleviated the genocide and perhaps halted it altogether. But i heard no suggestion that the US has an obligation to take military action, nothing even close. In that case, it was a matter of just not vetoing ongoing action in the Security Council. All Dallaire needed was an appropriate mission statement. For the whole situation there the french and the belgians have the great majority of responsibility, imho ... they were seeing/using it as a faceoff between french and anglo cultures ... the US involvement was quite small, just Albright's performance in the UN.
