I'm not so sure of that. Rwanda and Liberia were really local tribal conflicts, with corruption driving the battles of natural resources and ability to steal from the people. The powers didn't get involved because they weren't strategic and our leaders have been stung when we get involved, i.e., "damned if you do, damned if you don't." In both cases, particularly Liberia, it would have just taken a couple of thousand marines to save perhaps 10,000 lives or more. If you go back and read some of the discussions and commentary from WWII, you see some of the similar sentiment,"It's only Jews, is it true, is it propaganda?"
