Many people accuse the US of hypocrisy, whereby they are the champions of democracy and liberty but do not, for example, purge Sudan of its genocidal maniacs. Is this solely a reflection of US greed, i.e. not getting involved if US economic interests aren’t at stake, or does it represent both a dislike for getting involved in African politics, because of America's past history of slavery, or a institutional problem at the UN, who have literally watched massacre after massacre (Rwanda, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc.) without taking action?
