Quoted: Amazon.com: We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda: Books: Philip Gourevitch by Philip Gourevitch

with increasing violence in North and North East Africa, thought it appropriate to dot this book. FANTASTIC

Journalist Philip Gourevitch returns to Rwanda two years after the genocide to view the aftermath and recount the horrors...it's a non-fiction book. What all happened in Rwanda and the lack of action from the US, Europe, etc. is not only uphauling, but simply, in my mind, unethical. You will cry, possibly even stay awake, but you NEED to read this book. One question for you all, when should the US and EU, NATO be a policing body in the international arena?

Quoted: US President George Bush's top adviser on HIV/Aids warns that the world is losing the battle against the virus.
