How Could We Have Turned Away?

I am speechless. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. I just watched Hotel Rwanda. Overwhelmed with shock, I am flabbergasted. What occured in Rwanda was probably the worst slaughter in modern history. Modern meaning it occured within the last 30 years.

Almost a million people were slaughtered; men, women and children. All because of a label.

And the world turned it's back on them.

They had nothing to offer; no oil or land, no commodities. So we let them rot.

Dear Sweet Jesus, have mercy on us and forgive us.

Pax Christi,
KaraLynn
