Rwanda was a sovereign nation too. Under your reasoning, it would be morally unsupportable for a nation to invade Rwanda as the government ordered the slaughter of its own people. And why you say? Because the Rwanda government's proclamation that all members of the minority group, the Tutsi's, must be raped and slaughtered (to the point where the citizens were so exhausted from using their machetes they'd chop the achilles tendons of their victims and then leave them to cry all night while they went and slept and came back in the morning to finish chopping at them) is simply "behavior that is not in accordance with our standards". I wonder how this little guy, one of the survivors who has to take a rest from the food line, feels about your cultural relativism?
