While writing about his life in his recent , Bill Clinton is about remarkably few things, instead choosing to remain positive about the trials of his presidency. One of his biggest regrets, though, was not being able to stop the war that lead to the genocidal in Rwanda in 1994. The world at large did not know how to with Rwanda when the violence erupted. There were plenty of examples of Rwandans killing each other, but none where Rwandans began United Nations troops. So, unfortunately, the UN troops were able only to give the Rwandan aggressors looks, rather than being able to protect the victims through military intervention. Despite the danger to their own lives, a few American embassy workers stayed behind to help in any way they could, and from Rwanda launched increasingly critiques against Clinton and America's inaction. But the international consensus was that the Rwandan war was an internal conflict, and the nations who could have interceded chose to keep a/an of military neutrality, while condemning the violence diplomatically.
