I think if you asked Bill, he would say he wishes he did more. I think that genocides often happen quickly, and only afterwards do folks understand how horrific they were. I do think he regretted it, and that is why he was much more aggressive in Bosnia. No president bats .1000.
I tend to agree with most here that it is not the USA's job to stop all carnage in the world. The major tools we have are money and might, and sometimes neither is enough.
We already had troops dying in Africa. Remember Somalia, where we tried to be the world police? Rwanda happened right at the same time when the Black Hawk went down, and we were pulling out of Somalia. The same year we put boots on the ground in former Yugoslavia and became the world police there. You think it's about Paula Jones? LOL
Black Hawk Down happened 7 months earlier. The Bosnian war didn't blow up until practically a year after Rwanda.
Thank you for confirming my point. The entire African continent is not and has not ever been simultaneously at war.
There are over 50 nations. 15 have conflict.
LOL@ approving genocide. Your decision was not to express disapproval regarding mindless violence.
Your decision was to make highly uninformed and inaccurate comments about an entire continent, of over 50 nations, over 1000 ethnic groups, speaking over 1500 languages.
Now you're bothered because the idiocy was corrected. Do better. There are more than enough resources available to you to be informed. No excuse for the laziness.
The only reason why Africa is now made up of over 50 nations is due to the direct influence of European colonialism.
Perhaps, but it is what it is. Who knows how many nations would have existed without European colonialism by this point? The continent has over 1000 ethnicities. In a world of nation-states, it may have ended up with hundreds of nations by now.
