What will the world do for Syria?

This is so completely ignorant. Rwanda and Libya are vastly different situations. Gaddafi was a rotten figure for a lot of reasons but certainly is not guilty of an evil, let a lone genocide, on par with what happened in Rwanda. There are greater…

I don’t see how my pondering was ignorant. I know Rwanda was a genocide and quite frankly it looks like a genocide in Syria right now: http://mohandasgandhi.tumblr.com/post/17125853245/warning-extremely-graphic-syrian-boy-with-his

I have seen a lot of people supporting China and Russia for not wanting the world to interfere, but as they used their power of VETO at the UN, the killings got worse. 

Also I must state that when the U.S. “Interfered” in Iraq, they were helping the oppressor and not the oppressed. For oil and possibly opiates… definitely for money.

The main thrust of my objection was your using Rwanda in comparison with Libya specifically. What’s happening in Syria should be addressed, but to use the plight of Rwandan Tutsi’s to gain favor for your opinion is exploitative. In short, I detest emotional appeals used for personal gain.
