The movie is so-so(though Don Cheadle is great) but it does shine a spotlight onthe Rwandan massacre which took place over a long period oftime while the rest of the world stood by. Bill Clinton says it'sone of the most shameful memories he has and everyone,EVERYONE has sworn: Never Again.Hello, Never Again, as the massacres in Darfur continue andthe world watches and doesn't care. NYT columnist NicholasKristof interviews an American soldier who is over there rightnow."Every single day you go out to see another burned village, andmore dead bodies," said former Marine captain Brian Steidle."And the children - you see 6-month-old babies that have beenshot, and 3-year-old kids with their faces smashed in with riflebutts. And you just have to stand there and write yourreports."Well, I don't know about sending soldiers (do we HAVE anysoldiers left to send? Woops, no we don't.) but I can't WAIT tosee the Jamie Foxx melodrama "Darfur Daddy" about aconcerned American who adopts so Darfur orphans. It shouldcome out in about 2017.
