Paul Rusesabagina

No sé si habéis visto "Hotel Rwanda" donde cuenta el genocicio ruandés relatado por un manager de un hotel que hizo todo lo posible para salvar la mayor cantidad de personas posibles. La historia estaba insipirada en el relato personal de Paul Rusesabagina. Ayer escribía esto:

History shows us that genocides can happen only if four important conditions are in place. There must be the cover of a war. Ethnic grievances must be manipulated and exaggerated. Ordinary citizens must be deputized by their government to become executioners. And the rest of the world must be persuaded to look away and do nothing. This last is the most shameful of all, especially so because genocide is happening again right now in the Darfur region of Sudan, and the world community has done precious little to stop the killings.

What is happening in Darfur is exactly what happened in my home country of Rwanda, which was left to choke on its own blood from April to July of 1994.

The United Nations took virtually no action during the genocide. A detachment of well-equipped peacekeepers, made up of less than one-twentieth of the American troops now stationed in Iraq, could have easily stopped the killings without risk and sent the powerful message that the world would no longer tolerate mass murders of civilians, a real expression of the phrase "Never Again." But this simple act was deemed, then and now, to be somehow beyond the power of the United Nations, the United States, NATO, the European community and everybody else with the real power to stop another holocaust.

Menciona conceptos que yo uso bastante para explicar ciertas ideas. Hacer nada, inacción: "Lo único que hace falta para que el mal triunfe es que los hombres buenos no hagan nada".
"powerful message that the world would no longer tolerate mass murders of civilians"
A día de hoy lo que hacemos es enviar el poderoso mensaje de que toleramos los exterminios masivos, indirectamente invitando a que se produzcan.
No tengo ninguna duda de que si hubiéramos hecho algo en Ruanda, aparte de salvar miles de vidas de ruandeses, es poco probable que hoy estuviéramos hablando (los que hablamos sobre ello, claro) de Darfur.

¿Es tan difícil de entender?
