Really wish I could have seen this story. Unfortunately, the west coast version got interrupted by an "urgent" update of the Wisconsin primary. Enough already! Couldn't the "news" of Obama's PROJECTED win in Wisconsin wait one more minute to let us see a story that might have actually been interesting?

Martin-- Your sesitivity to Africa and its problems is remarkable, as is your ability to convey those difficulties to us. I say this as someone who has visited Africa on a number of occasions so I am aware of how tough it is to explain the situation considering the cultural differences. Please keep telling us Africa's story--and thank you for your excellent work.

I work in Restorative Justice in this country. I am humbled by the actions of these brave people. I hope that we can begin to move toward the example that they have set for the world.

In the "Diamond Sutra," Hui Neng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen, remarks that no amount of polishing a brick will turn the brick into a mirror. Until there is either a staggering shift in demographics, or a transcendence of tribal hatreds, Rwanda will continue to experience genocidal periods, as is true now in so many parts of the world. Tragic.

Thanks for the "update" on what's going on in Rwanda. I hope you continue to cover the events there, even if the message is less than hopeful. It's the hard stuff that our nation needs to hear.

My father was stationed in Italy during the genocide in Rwanda. When the UN finally went in, our base was one of the first to send troops. I could feel the fear of the soldiers who went there. Years later when I watched the movie 'Hotel Rwanda' I cried and couldn't sleep without nightmares. It's horrible for these things to happen. I hope these people will truly forgive and move on. Three of these types of events in 35 years? I hope they fixed it right this time.
