See the articles listed in my post titled "Rwanda & the USA," if you 
are interested in discussing what happened & what is happening now 
and the role played by the U.S. government in them.

BTW, your obsession to paint critics of imperialism and the corporate 
media as if we were holocaust deniers shouldn't surprise me, and yet 
it is still remarkable for its being even more strident than the 
corporate media themselves.
