Mmm, interesting! I have quite high opinion of her, which probably means there's plenty of suff I don't know!

Well, so do/did I (have a high opinion), and it is probably not fair to lay all at her doorstep without thinking about it...I'm now about 2/3 of the way through "Shake Hands With the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda". She and we (U.S.) don't look very good. A much easier book to read than I would have thought, BTW. Very interesting to read Dallaire's narrative. Yes, once again, I could long to be Canadian.

(edit: I should not single out the U.S. for not looking good in 1994, but it just happens to be where I was born and raised. And we had the highest capacity to do better.)
