This is an all too familiar scene when we look back at the genocide that took place in both Bosnia and Rwanda. Those times, we waited until a great deal innocent lives had been lost before we decided to get involved. We realized that had we acted sooner, many lives could have been saved. The rest of the world greatly regretted waiting as long as we did to take action in these two situations. However, once we did take action, we ended up saving countless lives with our intervention tactics. It would be a great shame if we didn't take what we learned from our past experiences and applied them here. Hopefully something will be done before more lives are lost.
