A senior U.S. diplomat says "ethnic cleansing" is underway in Kenya's Rift Valley in the aftermath of last month's disputed presidential election, but she says the violence does not rise to the level of genocide. [Hello, what is wrong with that insane statement of hers?]
What exactly is the difference between 'ethnic cleansing' and 'genocide'? And, if there is a difference, what is the purpose of a 'senior U.S. diplomat' pointing out the difference in this particular case? Will it determine the appropriate response from the U.S.? [Not likely.]
One is entitled to demand, that the origins of the violence be properly addressed, as well as the responsibilities of the democratically elected(?) government of Kenya, those of the political opposition and of the international community. But what am I complaining about? As we can see above, serious talks are taking place while, to quote a phrase, the people suffer. They really look concerned don't they? Not. No, it's not their butts or their family who is starving to death or dying by the thousands daily by butchery ....so why not kick back, laugh at a few jokes and have a nice cup of java.
Oh yea, a while back it was discovered that the millions of dollars sent over by the UN and the US for buying food and living supplies was instead used to buy high tech weaponry for the rebel Rogue chieftains. I'm beginning to think that world Governments are afraid of the big bad Islam wolf. Somebody better wake up real soon while they are still able too.
