It's hard to imagine that the kind of brutality he witnessed first hand is happening in our lifetimes while the US -- the worlds' supposed protectors do nothing about! I'm going to have to check out Mr. Rusesabagina's book. I know Hotel Rwanda was an amazing movie, but I bet it's nothing compared to reading his book in his own words. Do you know if he's doing a book tour? I wonder if he's coming to KC anytime soon. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204997166634933312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-1144860934006903972006-04-12T12:55:00.000-04:002006-04-12T12:55:00.000-04:00tu s.tin-Yes, it was an honor.tu s.tin-<BR/>Yes, it was an honor.Stephen A.
