Ghosts of Rwanda


Hi guys

Continuing on from Mike's post about whether you would help if another Rwandan genocide were to occur. I came across a discussion page on the internet which asks a similar question:

Does the phrase "never again" have more meaning today than it did ten years ago? If another Rwanda were to happen, do you think the world would respond differently this time?

I would like to think the world would respond differently, hopefully leading to a less devastating outcome. However it requires more than just thoughts to change the course of a genocide or similar shocking event.

I have added a link to the web site which displays opinions and discussion of the Rwandan Genocide.

Hi Jane - Thanks for getting the ball rolling with reactions to the DVD. Just a suggestion - can you add a link to Mike's post?

i think what makes it even more shocking is that the 'white' people, especially the americans, didnt seem to be in harms way as such. I can't believe that only one american stayed in rwanda. I find the whole thing somewhat inconceivable.
