BILL CLINTON REGRETS HIS FAILURE TO PREVENT THE RWANDAN HOLOCAUST



The news that that former US President Bill Clinton regrets the fact that he could have done something to prevent the Rwandan holocaust and he failed to do so is nonsense to me.

All these "Oh! I could have done some thing if only I knew" and "Had I known" are all American bullshit to me. Useless Medicine after death. Useless crocodile tears.

Look at the present genocide in the Darfur region in Sudan. What happened did not happen whilst the UN and the comity of nations were sleeping. The genocide in the Darfur happened in broad daylight before the eyes of the whole world and what did we do? What did those in authority and power with the means to prevent the catastrophe do? The UN was like a lame duck until recently and the rest of the world were only gaping and moping and gasping for breath watching the horrors of the massacres of helpless thousands and mass rape of helpless Sudanese women by the diabolical forces of the lawless Islamic rulers of Sudan for years and they only started running helter-skelter recently. But if they heard that the Islamic terrorists have bombed New York, Madrid or London, they would be screaming "blue murder" and jumping on their roof tops as if it was the end of the world. Their CNN and other Western news channels will be reporting the whole news 24/7 and with boring repetitions with only breaks for the adverts of their Western products and social marketing services. So, Bill Clinton's regrets are nothing more than Lip-Service Diplomacy and Eye-Service Chicanery for his own public image laundering in Africa. We don't need anymore crocodile tears in Africa and no medicine after death can save the thousands of helpless and hopeless poor masses of Africa who are still suffering and dying everyday by day in the Sudan, in Niger, in Ethiopia, in the Congo and other areas in distress in Africa.

Sokwanele! Enough is enough!

Clinton regrets personal

failure

on Rwanda genocide

Sat Jul 23, 4:22 PM ET KIGALI (Reuters)

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton visiting a Rwandan genocide memorial on Saturday, expressed regret for his "personal failure" to prevent the 1994 slaughter of 800,000 people.

On a brief visit to look at
projects in the central African country, Clinton laid a wreath at a museum commemorating victims of the 100-day massacre by extremists from the Hutu majority which took place during his presidency.

"I express regret for my personal failure," he said before touring the museum, which features graphic images of people being decapitated and bodies twitching on the road.
"I think it faithfully, honestly, painfully presents the truth of the Rwandan genocide," he told reporters after seeing the museum which his Clinton Foundation partially funded.

"It is an important contribution to the history of the world, that the world cannot afford to forget," he said.

Clinton apologized on a previous visit to Rwanda in 1998 for not recognizing the crime of genocide.
Clinton administration officials avoided the word in public for fear it would spark an outcry for action they were loathe to take, six months after U.S. troops were killed by Somali warlords in Mogadishu.

Rwanda was the last leg of Clinton's six nation African tour to see how the AIDS pandemic is affecting children on the world's poorest continent.

well, at least clinton feels regret, unlike this asshole bush who couldn't care less.
May the good lord have mercy on us.
GWB deserves a Gold Medal for keeping his head high in spite of all the insults he has been bearing since 9/11.Daedalus, Osama bin Laden would have given you a pat on the back for the GWB-bashing.

I guess Daedalus knows nothing about Bush and what he has done against the Darfur genocide. Since 2005 he has been working against these crimes. He has met with the Sudanese government and they warned him not to get involved. Also, on August 20, 2008 the president of Sudan said that what is happening in his country is not genocide. Get your facts straight. I commend Bush for all he has done and I pitty those who coward against their country by disrespecting the president.
