If you want to feel like a horrible Westerner – or human for that matter – watch “Hotel Rwanda”. And if that’s not enough, read We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families, which is much more graphic and detailed about the atrocities. Hotel Rwanda is PG-13 so they don’t show much. Apparently Darfur is the Rwanda of the 21st Century. I know very little about it. Next research project. Is the West as negligent in Darfur as it was in Rwanda, Papua, Burma/Myanmar, etc.? Probably. Oh well, American Idol is almost on.
(I don’t know which smiley represents sarcasm so I thought a sad, perplexed, distraught smiley would do.)
As an aside, Don Cheadle is excellent in Hotel Rwanda.
