There was the moral imperitive to remove a genocidal regime, as there was in Rwanda. Bill Clinton screwed up Somalia so bad that he was afraid to risk political capital to do what was right, particularly because he was an extremely unpopular president until 1996. Then when things started getting better, he didn't want to rock the boat. Mark my words, historians will shred the Clinton legacy to pieces in the coming decades.

Is Rumsfeld one of those oh so moral people? because he didn't seem to mind the genocidal regieme when he was working for Reagan...
UPI reported from the United Nations: “Mustard gas laced with a nerve agent has been used on Iranian soldiers in the 43-month Persian Gulf War between Iran and Iraq, a team of U.N. experts has concluded... Meanwhile, in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, U.S. presidential envoy Donald Rumsfeld held talks with Foreign Minister Tarek Aziz (sic) on the Gulf war before leaving for an unspecified destination.”
On March 23rd (the day before Rumsfeld's visit) the Iranian News Agency reported:
"that Iraq launched another chemical weapons assault on the southern battlefront, injuring 600 Iranian soldiers"
