Needs to say the word Genocide and a global effort with every single member that signed onto the Genocide Conventions needs to engage in a full court press.

Genocide over rides individual country/national interests and goes to Humanity's interests.

But that will never happen. It didn't happen Rwanda when we knew precisely what was going on - it won't happen now. Me - I'm waiting for a statement from Paul Kagame.

ETA- I understand Samantha Power missed an emergency meeting on Syria - but I still hold her in very high regard. However, she did say in her confirmation hearings that "we blew it in Rwanda".
