“I don’t think they’ve done enough. I think that even the delayed response to Hurricane Katrina could be an example of modern genocide. And just think of all the ethnic conflicts still going on around the world in other countries.”

“I think they could do a better job getting more involved in countries that it happens in. The response is never quick enough.”

“The U.N. could be doing a lot more. So no, they haven’t done enough. With everything we know now, we’re perfectly capable of preventing it.”
