Bush might be guilty of a lot of things, but genocide isn't one of them. I don't see how scoring points against Bush (or Mugabe) on a thread about the horrors of Rwanda does anyone any good. Doesn't that just trivialize Rwanda's genocide?
Yeah, I guess I have no sense of humor when it comes to genocide.
