what are you talking about?

it's a late hour, but your comments make no sense at all.

such as:



In 10 years' time, you, YOU have done nothing to improve the situation; indeed, you -- and your counterparts in the other tribe -- have continued to exacerbate matters, via your actions, your speech, and your bizarrely stupid governmental policies.



are you saying that trying to bring mass murderers to justice is a stupid policy?




Would civilised peoples not be, would the world at large not be, net bottom line and no 'human rights' BS (which concept eludes BOTH your tribes), well better off by letting you lot mutually slaughter each other into extinction or near-extinction?



Civilized people do not allow people to be slaughtered into extinction.




Absent hard evidence to the contrary, and given your nation's history since independence, I would tend to say, very simply, have a nice trip to hell.



Absent hard evidence of your knowledge of Rwandan history and politics, please do some research before you post on this topic.

Civilized people do not allow people to be slaughtered into extinction.

Arguably the most stupid comment ever posted. By direct implication, this statement asserts that there are no civilised peoples on earth, because various peoples have been doing exactly this to various other peoples, or attempting to, for all of recorded history, and very likely for all of history, period.

''Do not allow'', forsooth? What rubbish. What would you have, say, Norway, Germany, Japan, Australia, India, Chile, or the US do here? Issue a stern reprimand from the UN? Dispatch legions of lawyers in aid of your wonted ''prosecution of mass murderers''? Invade?

The point is here that there is exactly no external way to prevent, or halt once in progress, such slaughter in most cases. Further, there is no external way to prevent future retaliation, aka payback, generation on generation. For further details, see the Balkans.

As to policy, see the famous prayer of St. Francis.
