I think the book was "Hotel Rwanda"
Some victims were killed slowly. First the tendons in their legs would be cut so that they could not run away. Then an arm would be severed and the victim left for a while. The killers would then return and severe another limb. The purpose was to intensify the cruelty of the death and prolong the suffering in a "passionate desire to destroy not only the body but the soul of the victim before ending their life ...."

Obama is doing an even better job of ignoring the crisis than Clinton did in Rwanda.

At least Clinton was not responsible for the genocide in Rwanda, he was just responsible for doing nothing about it.

Obama is 100% responsible for bugging out of Iraq and squandering America's victory. His incompetent policies are turning Iraq it into a Humanitarian nightmare.

One exact parallel between Rwanda and the crisis in Iraq is that both conflicts started slowly and could have easily been put down with minimal intervention.

One Brit officer on the scene in Rwanda at the start of the genocide observed that a single company of Royal Marines could easily have stopped the massacre before it ever got rolling.

The same in Iraq with ISIS. Obama could have wiped out the 800 ISIS invaders in less than a week on the cheap with a small handful of aircraft armed with JDAMs.

There would have been close to zero risk to our forces and little or no risk of collateral damage to Iraqi civilians

Despite the fact that the barbaric ISIL jihadists have disrupted and seized poorly defended Christian and minority communities, they remain overextended and are vulnerable to a decisive counterattack. The Russians and Iranians are providing military, logistic and training aid to the Iraqi military that has been reinforced by motivated Shi’ite volunteers. The ISIL offensive has been stalled outside of Baghdad. Tough Kurds are harassing their flanks as Hezbollah, Syria and the Lebanese military are in their rear. While they have captured a large amount of weapons and ordinance, the Saudis are no longer funding them and they have no reliable supply routes to the outside. If the Iraqi army is able to launch a coordinated creative counterattack, ISIL may be in for a very bad time. Their situation is eerily reminiscent of the German invasion of Russia. Militarily overextended and characterized by brutal atrocities to innocent civilians. History is being repeated.

The Yazidi may "not have iPhones", but they get the publicity that Christians do not. There are well over 100,000 Christians fleeing ISIS in the area. Bakhdida, also known as Baghdeda, Qaraqosh, Karakosh or Al-Hamdaniya is a Christian capital of 50,000 that fell to ISIS yesterday. Obama never mentioned these Christians. Instead he focused his sole action on protecting a few thousand Yazidi on a mountain top.

We must conclude that Obama wants to see Christians killed.

In Rwanda, some half million to a million men, women and children were hacked to pieces with machetes. So see, the Middle East is no big deal compared to that.
