French Accused of Participating in Genocide in Rwanda

The first I heard of this was when I finally watched "Hotel Rwanda" and watched the documentary of Paul Rusesebegina returning to Rwanda. He visited a site where the bones of many Tutsi's remained in some buildings. Folks there were tortured, murdered, and raped. He mentioned that their were French soldiers helping and participating in the raping and killing.

Now, the French are being accused of participating in the genocide. The French are not denying the participated, they are basically saying Rwanada has no authority to accuse them.

I remember reading somewhere (probably in "The Phoenix Program," by Douglas Valentine), and correct me if I'm wrong, that the Vietnamese had arrested a bunch of French soldiers in the '50's. I believe the U.S. helped get these folks free, and the French soldiers went on a killing and raping rampage. You see, that is what soldiers are trained to do. Take control through violence and terror, which includes killing and raping. The U.S. soldiers raped lots of Vietnamese women during their murderous rampage in that nation.

It is not uncommon for these types of crimes to be committed by empirical nations such as the U.S. and France.

So, here is an idea for Turkey: Why, instead of denying the genocide against Armenians, tell other nations, such as France and the U.S. that you'll admit your crime of genocide if the U.S. and France and all the other nations within the UN body admit their genocides and crimes against peace and humanity.

One more interesting point, folks are heavily protesting the Chinese Olympics, mostly because of the occupation of Tibet. Occupations are forceful and violent, yes, but one has to question what was there before. For example:

I found on James Craven's website interesting pictures of the Dalai Lama with Nazi war criminals. One doesn't hear much about Tibet prior to the occupation by China. I have often heard that they were very oppressive toward women. Does anyone out there have any more solid information.

I also find it ironic that the citizenry of one of the most genocidal nations ever to have existed on this earth think that it is some kind of good work to protest China since they are hosting the Olympics. There is, afterall, zero to no call out for justice for the genocide of indigenous folks in this nation. Afterall, all those citizens benefit greatly from the genocide and occupation of the indigenous citizenry in this nation. It is nice they want human rights honored by China, but what about right here at home, assholes!
