All this reminds me of post-genocidal Rwanda and it's conflict with Zaire.
The international response to genocide is haphazard at best and the tap-dance of denial by genocidal entities is revoltingly perverse.
Sorry I don't have anything of substance to offer to this thread, but to me it's just another example of how the real world takes on the frivolity of bad drama to the lethal detriment of people who just want to do important things like eat and get out of bed in the morning.
it make you sick - yez, it does.
