Seems like humans have a bad track record with caring about genocide - for example, we can all agree in hindsight how awful the Nazi holocaust was, and how deplorable the inaction of states was, but less appreciated are the influence of pacifism, isolationism, and depression. Not trying to make excuses for our forebearers, but I do wonder: what can we learn from our history of failure on genocide, and what can we apply in this (dis)information age, to do things differently? Is there hope that domestic politics and economics won't sideline these issue continually? Fulan Gong and Tibet don't make me optimistic, not to mention many others around the world.

I remember hundreds of semi trucks fleeing to Syria with Saddam's bodyguards driving them, the few that were searched had cash, weapons, gold, and I always wondered what was in the rest. And later Syria had to dispose of their biochem weapons on out on the water under contract from other nations by the UN..

about the WMDs in Iraq you missed the fact that they killed over 5000 people with nerve gas in their own country but I guess that does not mean they have WMDs
