And of course while Sec of State for Defence Rifkind (and his boss Major) declined to overturn the verdict in the ZD576 case, a view he has since recanted (in a letter to the Sunday Herald, 10.02.02). Pity he couldn't have done so when he had the power to do so.

•like must other Western defence ministers at the time he completely ignored the Rwandan genocide in 1994

One might then ask...just why should he have done otherwise?
IE: leave Africa to the locals and stop poking others noses in...:rolleyes:

"just why should he have done otherwise?"

Rifkind and everyone else who decided to do nothing about the Rwandan Genocide (point taken jindabyne) ended up costing us (ie the West) billions of pounds in humanitarian aid, increased refugee flows, lost trade revenue and so forth.
