Frontline: Ghosts of Rwanda

[FHwku]

The PBS story marks the 10th anniversary of the 1994 Rwandan genocide of 800,000. Watching it, you hear the term "in retrospect," more than once, but i got the feeling that hindsight was still far from 20/20 for most of the people involved.

1. What are yall's thoughts on the current administration's foreign policy stands on the US's responsibilites to the world, particularly in the Middle East?

2. Can there be an acceptable blend of American interest-based involvement, isolation, and ethics in world situations?


There's always anti-war sentiment, but it seems like most conflicts, in my lifetime at least, have been riddled by a diatribe against any kind of action--anywhere. a sense of "what are we doing there/why are we fighting for them?" "this is just like Vietnam." i'm trying to express some late-night frustration and confusion, and i'm not sure if it's translating clearly onto the page.
