Pales in Comparision

Ten years ago this week was the massacre in Bruendi and Rwanda. Both presidents were on a plane that was struck by two missiles. Source unknown. But what followed in the largest massacre in the history of mankind.

As a direct result of the Somolia fiasco, no one wanted to get involved. The aggressors apparently had this all figured out. They said, all we need do is kill 10 whites and the rest will leave. They even got the number correct. Ten Belgium soldiers were killed. The western powers abandoned their protectorates even as the masses of machette armed killers massed on the ridges above - just waiting for white westerners to leave. It is a story about racism - in a country where two races could not even be distinguished if not for one simple piece of government information.

A few stayed. Those very few people may have saved as many as 65,000 lives by simply saying to the killers, "You will not harm these people". This is a stunning lesson that really was little reported by domestic news.

Most stunning is a comment made by virtually everyone who confronted the aggressors. Variations of "You could see the blackness in their eyes and knew immediately that this was a killer you were talking to". Did they really see satan in those eyes?

Lets not forget the Catholic Bishop would even conspired to arraign for a massacre of those he promised to protect. And the Catholic Church who tried to protect the Bishop rather than admit their man did the crime .

Frontline on PBS will air a documentary on Thursday, 1 April 2004 on this historical event. Remember, the Halocast pales in comparision. What happened in Bruendi and Rwanda is a worst case example of what can go wrong when world leaders just don't understand and just don't have the willpower. Many made major mistakes. And those many (curiously) acknowledge their mistakes in public. Again only making this event so unique or curious. Just look inside those eyes. Curiousity does not do this major world disaster justice. But you should at least know details of this story. Frontline on PBS Thursday at about 9PM. Your time may vary but your need to understand this event should not.
