Wonderful. Can't the citizens in Sub-Sahara Africa ever get some peace? Never any stability. What kind of existence is that?

I watched a documentary on Rwanda today on the history channel. I of course, was appalled at what I saw. Surprising was the side stepping displayed by the Clinton administration through all this. Included was Madeline Albright's reporting to the UN that the USA would not support sending UN peace keepers.

Did the Clinton Administration do anything during the 8 years in office to show world leadership? We don't have to review the rise of AlQueda etc. during those years but liberals are supposed to be the party that is quick to back causes to protect the environment etc. Clinton and his group and the UN sat back and watched wholesale genocide.
