1. The execution was indeed perfect, but the questions that should have been asked before the operation cropped up immediately afterward, with appalling belatedness.

2. US belatedness in responding with appropriate determination to genocide was mirrored in the flaccid responses of European countries, individually and through the European Union.

4. Minister Hai said÷ " For whatever reasons, the insufficient supply of electricity for the economy and domestic use of the people is the responsibility of the minister in charge of the electricity industry." He attributed the recent severe power shortage to unpredictable weather developments, the sectors failure to forecast a surge in the electricity demand of the northern region, and the belatedness of a number of power projects.

5. "We have learned nothing from Rwanda, " Kofi Annan on history‘s judgment of the international response to Darfur (BBC, July 3, 2005) By Eric Reeves July 6, 2005 –– "Are we going to repeat what happened in Rwanda?" asked UN Secretary–General Annan in a recent BCC documentary (July 3, 2005). Annan posed the question again÷ "Is [Darfur] going to be another Rwanda?" Asked about how history "would judge the international response [to Darfur]," Annan said÷ "Quite likely that we were slow, hesitant, uncaring, and that we have learned nothing from Rwanda" (Reuters, July 3, 2005). While such an honest assessment is surely welcome, its belatedness and expediency–––coming only in the third year of ethnically–targeted human destruction in Darfur–––must be noted as well.
