Why didn't Bill Clinton act when even worse atrocities were happening in Rwanda just a year before? Because it was mid-term election year.

To his eternal discredit, he did nothing.

Because it was mid-term election year.

He was and is a crude narcissist never capable of expending political capital in a way that would harm his political fortunes.
