No. Arms sales are a MAJOR factor in these types of events. If you discuss Rwanda, you fool yourself if you do not discuss the absurdity of arms dealing.

NCB is entitled to his opinions. Maybe he didn't understand your point? Maybe he didn't see the movie or maybe he hasn't read up on it.

He is entitled to his opinions, I never said otherwise. Maybe he didn't understand my point, but I doubt it - my point was not complex and his response showed that he grasped it to some degree. Whether he saw the movie or has read up on it has no bearing on whether a discussion about the cause of an event is useless, as he claimed.

But now what? So we stop creating situations. Then what to do with the current situations?

"So we stop creating situations" - you make it sound like just saying that makes it so.
The current situation is easily addressed: the UN sends in troops to stop the violence. Followed by the complete withdrawal of Western business from Sudan and the addition of mountains of humanitarian aid. There is nothing to discuss on that aspect anymore. That is the solution, there is no other.
