MY opinion, for what it is worth ( as expressed in previous threads on Darfur, Gypsies, Kurds, Armenians, Tutsis, Cambodians, and others) is that the biggest regret the US will have in the future will be tha LACK of action that we have taken in the face of genocide- we wring our hands, and wait until it is over to do anything.

beardedbruce, Darfur is an example of a genocide for which the US government is equally responsible. We (and Israel) are arming and supporting the rebels who are committing just as many atrocities as the Janjaweed. Our own government and that of Israel are also causing large numbers of people to be killed and displaced in Darfur. This is a classic example of the kind of resource war I am talking about. It is a proxy war between powerful countries over oil. The poor farmers are caught between these competing powers.

The Cambodian genocide is directly the fault of the US government. And keep in mind the fact that the US government had already killed millions of Cambodians even before Pol Pot took power. But I don't suppose you care about those millions of people. Just the ones killed by Pol Pot.
