Boutros Boutros-Ghali As a Republican, I voted with President Clinton consistently in our efforts to bail out our European friends in Kosovo to stop genocide. I am proud of those votes. I am proud of President Clinton for that. Gordon Smith But at the beginning, our definition of the genocide was what happened to Armenia in 1917 or 1919, it's happened to the Jew in Europe, and we were not realizing - In our point of view, they have not the tools to do a genocide. Boutros Boutros-Ghali But if Russia is to be part of this larger zone of peace it cannot bring into it its imperial baggage. It cannot bring into it a policy of genocide against the Chechens, and cannot kill journalists, and it cannot repress the mass media. Zbigniew Brzezinski Can postmodernism hold the perpetrators of genocide accountable? Catharine MacKinnon Cheney, Cheney, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide. Dick Cheney Committing genocide on behalf of an institution generates greater loyalty to it than merely getting people fired from their jobs on its behalf. John McCarthy Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth. Timothy Radcliffe Despite the increase in world attention toward Sudan in the past months, the genocide in Darfur has continued without any serious attempt by the Sudanese government to do what governments primarily exist to do, protect their citizens. Tom Allen For us, genocide was the gas chamber - what happened in Germany. We were not able to realize that with the machete you can create a genocide. Boutros Boutros-Ghali Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination. Andrea Dworkin Genocide is an attempt to exterminate a people, not to alter their behavior. Jack Schwartz Governments are mandated by international law to protect people from genocide. Bianca Jagger I believe the only time when we can call for intervention is when there is an ongoing genocide. Bianca Jagger I was employed as an investigator and my particular team, we were investigating the role of the business community in the genocide and we identified a bunch of leaders of the business community and I investigated two people. Tony Greig If President Bush is serious about genocide, an immediate priority is to stop the cancer of Darfur from spreading further, which means working with France to shore up Chad and the Central African Republic. Nicholas D. Kristof If Turkey is prepared to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, then its leaders can proceed immediately to direct dialogue with its counterparts in Armenia to define a common vision for the future. Mark Foley In Rwanda that genocide happened because the international community and the Security Council refused to give, again, another 5000 troops which would have cost, I don't know, maybe fifty, a hundred, million dollars. Lakhdar Brahimi In the case of Iraq, notwithstanding the violence there at the moment, the very fact that a hideous regime - responsible for genocide, for the use of chemical and biological weapons, aggression against two neighbors - has been removed in itself is a positive development. Jose Ramos-Horta Israel is now sustaining a war for its own existence. A nation defending its citizens against terrorist bombings and a military and diplomatic onslaught by an array of Arab foes is practicing survival, not genocide. Jack Schwartz |
