In tears watching the rest of Hotel Rwanda
I can remember visiting Anne Frank's house back in 1978 & Bill (friend at the time) wrote in the visitor's book "how can you say 'never again' when...." prescient words.
Last in the film, listening again to "acts of genocide" from Clinton's press secretary made me laugh at the pathetic phrasing. Of course, now that Nicholas D. Kristof has used the term genocide in relation to the Sudan & the genocide treaty has proven to be toothless, everyone at the UN or US administration could have saved themselves the trouble & gone ahead and stated genocide without concern that they would have been forced to intervene.
