US ponders military exercises in Baltics in bid to reassure Russia's neighbours

51. I know, you don't want to get it.

In 1994, the Hutu Power militias did most of the killing (not "Hutus&quot , but possibly the conditions for the genocide wouldn't have occurred in the first place if not for -military! - intervention in Rwandan affairs by two Western powers acting out of their perceived geostrategic interests (which is the only reason the motherfuckers in power ever act, even when they do the occasional good thing during a natural disaster because for reasons of PR).

And the direct intervention by French troops in support of the genocidaires (read that, damn it!) was not PRIOR, it was DURING. They were there! How can you discuss the theoretical bullshit about what the West could have done while ignoring what the West actually did? There was a Western intervention during the genocide, and it illustrates perfectly what's wrong with intervention.

The rest of your rant is standard neo-con war-lovers' American century boilerplate. There's always a reason -- many reasons! -- for the U.S. to spend a trillion dollars on the military (not enough! too low!!! alert alert!) and intervene militarily everywhere in the world.

Or else: Hitler!!!
