I understand thats an isolated incident but people need to realize this is not a matter of white mans burden or superiority or pride politics. This is helping millions of displaced persons and putting a stop to a genocide. If you dont agree that this "incident" is a genocide. Go their for yourselves and talk to the raped and beaten women. Talk to the men who have no family left because they had cotton shoved in their mouths and burned to death. Tell them we cant help because they can help themselves.
