In Geneva, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called on the international community to stay alert to prevent massacres like that in Rwanda.
"We cannot afford to wait until the worst has happened, or is already happening, or end up with little more than futile hand-wringing or callous indifference," Annan told the UN Human Rights Commission.
Given that he was against the removal of Saddam Hussein, just what is his standard for "the worst"? Somewhere under 800,000 but greater than this?
