I can't tell if this is in response to my comparison to the scene in the film or not - I will assume it is, correct me if I am wrong.
Yes. The UN bickers over the definition of genocide because once something is defined as a genocide, then they have to act. And the West bickers over what should have been done in Rwanda, because once they decide that something, anything, should have been done in Rwanda, then they have to act in Sudan.
It's
ALL double-talk, waste time - you should have done something, no
you should have done something. All the while, nothing gets done.
The answer is: stop creating the situations to begin with. Neither Rwanda nor the Sudan nor any place on this planet is not directly affected by Western international policies. Most places can do nothing to stop the West from doing what it wants in their countries. The West is at fault here for being a major force in CAUSING the problems and then, entirely seperate from that, discussing possible "fixes" instead of acting and, as NCB so eloquently demonstrated, refusing to discuss the original causes of the problems.
