Clinton's on the Offense

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called out the government of Guinea Tuesday by saying that the crimes it committed against protesters was a "...vile violation of the rights of the people in that country." She also stated that the Guinean government should offer a "profound apology" to the people. She also said that United States will take appropriate actions against the Guinean government.
Now, wait a minute. Let's remember why we're here in the first place. On September 28th protesters marched in opposition to the leadership of Capt. Moussa Dadis Camara to which he responded by having his soldiers shoot and rape them, and it's estimated that soldiers killed around 160 protesters. Now, personally I think this calls for just a little bit more that an apology. It's kinda hard to "sorry" that one away. Personally I think that the UN should make movements to hold the Guinean government responsible for this. But, I'm not naive enough to think that they will. In the eyes of the west it's just another case of Africans killing Africans.
