SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.

_____________________________________________
A movie on Rwandan genocide being shown in Ugandan capital, Kampala. I hope it gets screening worldwide. Unlike Schindler's List, the movie does not have any western heroic character. To quote the producers, "To have done so would have been totally dishonest because there were no western heroes, and in fact the west betrayed the people of Rwanda". Very well said. Remember? US that time reported that "acts of genocide may have been committed". It did not want to say explicitly that "genocide is being committed" because using the term "genocide" would have put so much responsibility on US and UN to respond to the situation immediately. Now, we all know what really happened.
