Reflection on "Ghosts of Rwanda"

What can one think after watching Ghosts of Rwanda? This event is definitely a terrible genocide. 800,000 people, innocent men, women and children were slaughtered. It is crucial that the U.N. will prevent any other event like this. Where was the U.N. when this occurred? Where was the U.S.? Once the 10 Belgian soldiers were killed, Belgium pulled out and the U.N. began to pull out troops as well. So many lives could have been saved by the U.S and the U.N but they did not help out at all. The U.N. even gave orders for military observers to not help out at all. If it was not for heroes in Rwanda such as Mbaye Diagne and General Daillare, the lives of thousands of Rwandans would have been lost. Even in all terrible genocides, there have always been heroes who saved lives. In the future, the U.N. should intervene while the genocide problem starts to boil, and help out as much as possible. Genocide should we avoided at all costs. Hopefully, in the future we can prevent genocide from occurring.
