    This is like Bill Clinton ignoring the Rwandan genocide

    Arguably this is because he didn’t ignore the Bosniak genocide but then NATO was criticized for getting involved.

    It’s my personal belief that we should intervene militarily to stop genocides, but there’s influential “leftist” thinkers who seem to disagree. Some will still say the US shouldn’t have gotten involved with Kosovo, and I believe Chomsky notoriously denied the Cambodian genocide was even happening.

    Of course, the right answer is to say fuck these people and get involved anyway. We shouldn’t bow to political disagreement when it comes to stopping genocides.
