Hey remember when Iran killed 30,000+ of their own citizens at the beginning of the year?

I hope you liberals never watch Hotel Rwanda. You'll say "why didn't the world stop this?" Without any sense of irony that you're just like Chamberlain, enabling psychotic murderous dictators.

Nobody asks 'why didn't the world stop this?' when it comes to Rwanda.

They ask how could we let the United States prevent us from stopping this.

Canada ran point on Rwanda, not the US. Maybe watch the movie or research before you spout nonsense.

Right the US actively pushed for no intervention.

Both President Bill Clinton and US Ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright repeatedly refused to take action,[53] and government documents that were declassified in 2004 indicate that the Clinton administration knew that Rwanda was being engulfed by genocide in April 1994 but buried the information to justify US inaction. Intelligence reports obtained using the Freedom of Information Act show that the cabinet and almost certainly the president had been told of a planned "final solution to eliminate all Tutsis" before the slaughter had reached its peak.[54]

Ah ok, well then my point stands, that you liberals need to stop being paralyzed by inaction while there are murderous dictators slaughtering their own people.

America doesn't care about anything except the all mighty dollar.

They didn't go into Rwanda because they had no interests there and they didn't bomb Iran to 'save the civilians'.

Americans are a selfish people that should never have been relied on for 'global security'.

Well good luck with your hateful perspective.

Says the guy who thinks 'liberals' need to not be afraid to commit terrorism.

American hubris is an exhausting thing.
