Track Record Of The World's Tears

Genocide or something close to it has happened in the Congo, Burundi, Uganda, East Timor, Cambodia, Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda, Kosovo, and most recently the Darfur region of Sudan. In all but Kosovo, the international community ignored the horror of mass murder.

UPDATE: LEADING scientists have spent the past two years lobbying the United Nations for a tsunami warning system for the Indian Ocean.
