On Kagame, you decide

I won’t pretend to know anything about Rwanda.  So on this 20th anniversary of initiation of the genocide, I point to what President Kagame has to say, as well as Philip Gourevitch’s commentary (his 1999 book We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families is indispensable reading):

On the critical side, Anjan Sundaram contributes a scathing piece in Politico.  Tony Blair however has little other than praise to offer.

You decide.
