Good point. I was wondering the same thing myself. Melinda

I suspect it is simply that Rwanda has no strategic importance--if it did,I do not think color would be an issue to intervene or not to-- as I have prevously stated I suspect the humanitarian issue is just secondary--Max90

o you find it ironic how Clinton, the U.S. and NATO stood around and whistled Dixie while the Hutus slaughtered 900,000 Tutsis, (or did the Tutsis slaughter the Hutus?), Don't forget the civil war ongoing right now in Sri Lanka (my daughters have been studying that for current events). The death toll there makes Kosovo look positively safe. We don't care, we don't act. Let them kill each other. Yes, I think you're right -- as far as Clinton is concerned, only white people killing white people matters.

Do you find it ironic how Clinton, the U.S. and NATO stood around and whistled Dixie while the Hutus slaughtered 900,000 Tutsis, (or did the Tutsis slaughter the Hutus?), with machetes in less than six months, and now just because 2000 Kosavars have been killed in one year of fighting Clinton and NATO find it necessary to launch the Cruise missiles and B52 bombers against Serbia? This is one of the few questions on this thread I know the answer to. After the failed humanitarian effort in Somalia, nobody wanted to see the bodies of American service men dragged through the streets again. That is why we did not get involved. I don't believe there was a racial element to the decision.
