A Reminder of the West's Hypocrisy

TheHeresy.com links to a NY Times article about the new movie Hotel Rwanda. The movie is a reminder of how the West completely failed to deal with Rwanda. The result? We allowed 800,000 people to be murdered out of a fear that a few soldiers might lose their lives.

It's stuff like this that makes me believe that the European nations won't get involved in Iraq because they know they are too weak to deal with serious world issues. I recognize that the US was a part of this failure, and I won't excuse that at all. European nations, however, have failed to assist in Iraq and completely failed to deal with the genocide in Bosnia. That's right, European nations couldn't deal with genocide in their own yard! Why is that? Because they have become weakened to the point of paralysis. It's much easier to sit in centuries old halls and cast blame than to actually get out and deal with the reality of evil. It's a shame, as Europe ought to know firsthand the results of such inaction from the Nazis.
