Words from the (not too distant) past:

THE 2ND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE, October 11, 2000

MR. LEHRER: ... 600,000 people died in Rwanda in 1994. There was no U.S. intervention. There was no intervention from outside world. Was that a mistake not to intervene?

GOV. BUSH: I think the administration did the right thing in that case. I do.              ... that's a case where we need to -- you know, use our influence to have countries in Africa come together and help deal with the situation. The administration ... made the right decision on training Nigerian troops for situations just such as this, in Rwanda And -- and so I thought they made the right decision not to send U.S. troops into Rwanda
