I think the U.S should have intervened due to the fact that it was a genocide and not just a civil war. I think the U.S felt it wasn't their battle because there could be a bad outcome to us getting involved but when the entire race of a people is at stake it is our duty to help out any way possible to prevent that. If it wasn't for the U.S in World War II, Hitler could have succeeded in wiping out the Jewish people and that war could have had a worse outcome for us so I feel like there was no reason to not intervene in Rwanda.
