Well if that happened, then certainly kudos to those two guys. Still though, if the aggressors had really wanted to kill them…I mean…
I don’t think our only consideration should be to take a look with hindsight 20/20 at these situations and say what went wrong, but actually do something about it so these things don’t continue to happen. If we had done that properly after Rwanda, we might have saved 300,000 people that were massacred in Darfur. I feel like its easy to throw numbers like that around without having a real understanding of how many people that is that were actually killed. Our entire nation was enraged at Japan and declared war on them during WWII because they killed 3,000 Americans. Same thing after 9/11. The equivalent to these situations would be if tomorrow the pentagon released a statement saying that some country just destroyed the entire (active) U.S Military, which is numbered at about 300,000.
