Hotel Rwanda is heavy

At 3pm today I watched Hotel Rwanda. I watched it with Scott and Anneliese, and Jeff joined us halfway through. The movie was excellent and really made you think about it. Like they say in the movie, there are people who will hear of this sort of thing and say, "that’s a shame" then keep eating dinner. I bet 99% of the people who watch that movie will do it. I am afraid I'm going to do that. I want to help though, while the Rwanda genocide is over there is still that sort of thing going on all over the place that's been put out of the spotlight thanks to lack of interest. The UN didn't do a damned thing about it except getting the freaking whities out and leaving the Rwandan people to fend for themselves. That would be the most awful situation to be in. These people saw their friends and children and spouse slaughtered for no other difference than a name. Tutsi and Hutu. Supposedly they are supposed to look different, but you can't really tell any. Why do people have to be so angry at each other? And have such a lack of regard for human life. How can you kill innocent helpless children? It's absolutely mind boggling. I don't want to be one of those people who go on without doing anything. It sucks. I want to know all about the current conflicts that our media doesn't feel is important enough. This whole mess is disgusting. Oil is more important than peace. The threat in Iraq is over, why can't we use the resources we have in there for other issues? Politics suck so hard.
