George Bush On Outside Forces And Irony

GEORGE Bush is in Africa. Bush is defending his decision not to send U.S. troops into the Darfur genocide, saying he learned lessons from the genocide in Rwanda. Why?

Well, Bush says foreign troops would only be divisive and “unbelievably counterproductive”. You knew? 

BUSH: A clear lesson I learned in the museum was that outside forces that tend to divide people up inside their country are unbelievably counterproductive. In other words, people came from other countries — I guess you’d call them colonialists — and they pitted one group of people against another.

File under American irony in Iraq…
