US policy toward Genocide

I read this book ?America and the Age of Genocide? that won the Pulitzer Prize like two years ago, which also eventually prompted me to interview the former Bosnia?s foreign minister and ambassador to the UN during the war in former Yugoslavia in the context of U.S. policy toward genocide and the role human rights play in American foreign policy.

Anyway, I think it is pretty much incomprehensible, why the U.S., the most powerful country in the world stays indifferent, when the genocide is ongoing and millions of people are being slaughtered around the world. How is it possible that U.S. president says that we are fighting in Iraq because we want to spread democracy and at the same time the U.S. doesn?t undertake any endeavors to stop genocide in Darfur, previously in Rwanda, Cambodia etc. (actually the U.S. supported politically and diplomatically Pol Pot, who is regarded the second to Hitler biggest maniac of the XX century). Do you see any consistency in the U.S. foreign policy? Is in American opinion, the right to democracy more important than the right to life? It?s XXI century and there is no moral leadership on the side of the U.S., which becomes so indifferent about sufferings of other people. When almost 3 thousand people died on 9/11, the U.S. generated support and compassion from almost the whole world. On the other hand when 8 thousand people were dying in Rwanda A DAY, no American gave a damn.

the US has backed despots who carried out genocide,when it suited them,and has done for decades.

Is there something illegal about that? Are you trying to imply we backed them to aide in genocide?

the US backed dictators they knew were carrying out genocide,SADDAM is a prime example,the massacre of the kurds in 1982 that was brought up in his trial,then we had the infamous picture of rumsfield,shaking SADDAMS hand in 1984,the US turns a blind eye,when it suits them !

the US turns a blind eye,when it suits them

Richtig, Donald Rumsfeld and Daddy Bush gave Saddam the green light to mass murder over 5,000 Kurdish people with poison gas. All because they had more oil than he did. He wasn#t gonna stand for that.

We're not fighting for Democracy in Iraq. We're fighting Terrorist Islam and other anti-American elements. Also, we're not the world's police force.

terrorist islam wasn't in iraq,prior to the invasion !

terrorist islam wasn't in iraq,prior to the invasion ! and BUSH keeps talking about IRAQ being a free democratic state,so what is it about ? WMDs ?

Prove it?

We cannot police the entire world Superman, we have to only help those that have valuable resources we can steal! Africa has diamonds but forget it thats all taken. Other than that what do they have; over population, highest HIV count on the globe, staving people, no water, no land good for crops, the list is long. Oh yeah Ebola, H5N1, and so many more great diseases.:dunno:
South America has oil, natural gas, and it boarders the USA. Iraq has oil, Kuwait(spell) has oil, Mmmmm! I wonder why we don't help Africa!
