It was, I often mused, one of Somalia’s strangest paradoxes.  When no one comes to help, they cry that the world is indifferent to their suffering.  And when people do come, what do the Somalis do?  They shoot them in the back of the head, drag the naked bodies through the streets, beat them to death with bricks.”  -Keith Richburg

“There are no devils left in hell.  They are all in Rwanda.”  -A Missionary, quoted in Time, May 16, 1994
