Excellent movie.

A few points. Almost the entire Rwandan massacre occured in a very short time frame; 3 months. The event happened right after after the pullout in Somalia. It would be very difficult to project power into a landlocked country in a three month period and develop a reasonable plan; both politically and for the involvement itself. Someone in the world is always opposed to any particular conflict involvement and getting resolutions from international bodies such as the UN can take a very long time as the usual political process is to issue warnings first and threaten future actions. This actually happened with the UN in Kosovo. There are always conflicts the world over in which the rest of the world does not get too involved. Chechnya right now is an excellent example. So is Burundi. There are something like 20 armed conflicts going on in the world right now.

One of the great things about the west is its open press and dialogue. Today, many people view not going into Rwanda at the time a mistake. World leaders, past and present, such as Koffi Annan and Bill Clinton have spoken on the lessons learned from Rwanda. Clinton later visited Rwanda.

Remember that all the bloodshed in Rwanda happened in about a three month period. Consider that it took much longer than that for NATO to get organized enough to intervene in Kosovo and that it took place despite the fact that NATO nations had to bypass the UN. Politics is a difficult business.
