 Rwanda: The ethnic Trap
In my childhood, Rwanda was a distant, indistinct place and time in my memory, the obscure object of nostalgia, a forgotten country illustrated by the travel agent's myth of an "African Switzerland" whose rolling hills were graced with neat grass huts, lyre horned cattle and affable peasants.
A Rwanda whose gentle rolling hills were shrouded in the acrid smell of rotting dead bodies, of churches piled high with dead parishioners hacked to death by fellow parishioners because of their height, or the shape of their nose.
Although Rwanda was never a French colony, it had the misfortune of being a french speaking country on the fringes of Francophone Africa, on the imperial faultline that Cecil Rhodes wanted to trace from the Cape to Cairo, the front line with perfidious Albion.

On April 6, 1994, in the wake of political destabilization triggered by the assassination of Rwanda's iron-fisted ruler, Maj. Gen.
The film, very much an African-based response to Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List," is galvanized by star Don Cheadle's compelling and richly layered portrayal of Rusesabagina, who became a hero not by choice or design, but essentially by default.
The pragmatic and highly dignified Rusesabagina is not a man to waste time with empty gestures: He caters to his hotel guests because it's his job, whereas he maintains tight connections with fl marketeers and corrupt military officers because it's his family's possible salvation, in the event of a crisis.

 Amazon.com: Volare! - The Very Best Of The Gipsy Kings: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Since 1989, when the single "Bamboleo" and their Gipsy Kings album broke through and went gold in the United States, they've found a willing audience in America for their style, which, while flashy, doesn't demand a great deal of the listener, unlike more hardcore versions of flamenco.
I was a relatively early joiner to the Gipsy Kings bangwagon as I "discovered" them in 1991 when I was introduced to them via their "Mosaique" CD, which in my opinion is by far the best non-greatest hits release that this group has put out.
This 2 CD set expands on 1995's Best Of (which was a single CD) and as is the case with very few artists, the Gipsy Kings fill every second of both CDs with their joy and emotion.

 Of Cabbages and Kings - by William S. Lind
As an historian, I could think of nothing other than the behavior of an earlier profile in courage, the Persian king Darius, at the battle of Issus.
When the same people who have sent our kids to die in Iraq and left our borders wide open run in panic because of a Cessna, the American people get the message: Washington is "them," not "us." At some point, that gap may grow wide enough to swallow the state itself.
Kings who become cabbages, like Darius, end up history's losers.

I think what you'll see is a sort of eating away at the unity of the Episcopal Church here in the United States with individual parishes saying they would like to part from the Church and dioceses as well.

 2004: The Year in Movies - Flight of the Movie Club. By David Edelstein, A.O. Scott, Charles Taylor, Armond White, ...
So Annie is on Vincent's hit list, and Max, who's already expressed moral disproval with Vincent's job and has already probably lost any chance at his dreamt-of professional aspirations, has to save his romantic-sexual-familial ones.
To borrow Armond's mathematical model, Hotel Rwanda < Shake Hands With the Devil, a remarkable documentary about Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian U.N. general who was in charge of the peacekeeping forces in Rwanda and was the basis for the (blink-and-you-miss-him) Nick Nolte character in George's film.
That movie, which I saw within hours of Hotel Rwanda at the Toronto Film Festival, gets into all sorts of complexities about how and why the international community allowed the Rwandan genocide to happen in the first place—complexities, I would add, that George's film, for the most part, is happy to oversimplify or flat-out ignore.

 Hotel Rwanda
A sobering and heartfelt tale about massacre that took place in Rwanda while most of the world looked away.
Don Cheadle gives a riveting performance as Paul Rusesabagina, the manager of a European-owned hotel in Rwanda, who created a secret refugee camp for the Tutsi people during the brutal genocide committed against them by the Hutu people in 1994.
