When I went to that site, I was expecting much, much worse. It was as
recently as 1994 that 800,000 Tutsi died in Rwanda. I don't remember
hearing it on the news at the time, but I was young. Do you all, I
wonder, recall any fuss about it? I can only imagine the outcry if that
many deaths had occurred to people who were American, or British, or
German, or, well, to be blunt about it, white.
Now all we have to do is halt the fifty-five million annual non-genocide
casualties, and we'll have made some real progress.
