Just dropping to write a note of heart felt words in me after watching the movie Hotel Rwanda. A true account that took place in 1994 - the rwanda genocide. It left almost 1 million dead n countless of orphans. What turned human so cruel? Hatred and the driving insanity. Somehow, i felt ashamed of being a man, a human being. Ashamed of the unhuman, uncompassionate nature that man potrays. The formation of the UN came out from a gd intention, but in the process of its work and the existance of of its presence in troubled land had not lead to preventing innocent people to be killed. Once again, it reflects upon the organisation itself. Politically controlled by superpowers. Unwilling to sacrifice and commit themselves in helping others in times when needed. It's a shame for some to see their multinational force of peace-keepers doing nothing about and around the torched villages and in the bomb-gutted towns and cities. The blue berets (hats, helmet, u name it, they have it) had also failed in many other missions - the ignore genocide in sundan, and other genocides in bunia, the ivory coast and lastly kosovo. Ignoring the fact that peace had once existed in these places, they did nothing or some perhaps something, often ending and sending off with a very strongly worded letter to the war-ravaged countries and the rest of the world.
