There is Evil.

I don't know if I would be able to deal with standing there watching a mother placing her dead child on the ground and then just walking on, or standing there while a boy tugged on my shoelaces, turned his eyes up towards the sky, and died. It seems so natural to us that death is a big event, people come around, gather, remember your life. There, you die, it's as if you never lived. I really wonder what it's like to be so numbed to the horrors of everyday life that you don't even remember how to cry. Anybody know where you can rent/view old Nightlines? I'd like to see the one referenced by the author.

Heh, the people who orctrasted these events worked so hard, they killed more people than those that ran the Concentration Camps.

Evil indeed.

Only in rate, but not sheer number. Rwanda was, however, more "hands on" than the concentration camps were, for the most part.

Yes, one would beileve that if it was that sheer in number the rest of the world would notice... At least I hope so...

Thank you for sharing the article. It moved me to tears, and I still can't believe we sat back and allowed those nightmares to occur.
