You ask a good question, i.e., how many bodies should it take to get US involved in foreign police actions? But I can ask you: should we never do anything to help when civilians are being slaughtered by their governements or by armed rebel forces and the populace has NO MEANS to defend itself?

I don't know the answer, so I can't say whether Clinton or Bush are right or wrong for their policies of non-intervention in Rwanda and Haiti respectively. All I know for sure is that it was Annan's job to keep the peace in Rwanda, and he failed.
