Never fear. Wherever genocide is occurring in the world, all the beleaguered souls have to do is send out the UN signal. The UN will get right on the case and...create a new committee:

Warning massacres like those carried out in Rwanda and Bosnia could happen again, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Monday proposed an international committee to help prevent genocide.
Annan made the proposal at the opening of a three-day conference in Stockholm on preventing genocide.

More than a half a million people were slaughtered during the 1994 war in Rwanda. A year later in Bosnia, some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were massacred in Srebrenica, in eastern Bosnia, during the Balkan wars.

"I long for the day when we can say with confidence that, confronted with a new Rwanda or new Srebrenica, the world would respond effectively, and in good time," Annan said. "But let us not delude ourselves. That day has yet to come."


How about the recently ended genocide in Iraq Mr. Annan? A hell of a lot more than 8,000 were murdered. I feel so good about this new committee and I truly believe that genocide will be stopped by a few bureaucrats getting together and scolding the oppressor. Praise Howard Dean's and John F----- Kerry's very important UN.
