Kenya in Crisis

I'm with you on this Ibram. I think Mercs summation of the situation is incorrect.

I'm aware of what happened in Rwanda and the role the UN played. At least they played a role. They did what they were supposed to do but it wasn't nearly enough. It could never be.

I don't think this should become an argument about whether or not the UN is a useful organization or not, although I would ask that if the UN did enter Kenya and create peace, would it then be seen as useful, and if so what would need to happen to ensure this outcome?

If it's not up to the UN, then should anyone in the international community step in to stop the genocide that will surely occur?
