Anyway, like i'm said, i'm sure there were some minor political reasons that helped push them over the hump when the genocide was happening.  Along with other bigger issues.   There is always some political advantage to be gained in any situation like that.

There's big difference between random political advantages and purposeful actions to gain those advantages.

 

As for the Rwanda, there were UN troops deployed prior to events that were doing... nothing. As there were peackeepers from Netherlands in Srebrenica, who again did nothing. Slackers. Though what would you expect from Netherlands? :D

Yeah, the UN ordered them to do nothing.

The US though did have the political will to send troops to actually do something in Rwanda.  Clinton just didn't have the will.
