A new Book

I've just read a new book. "Left to Tell" by Immaculee Ilibagiza. It's a true story about a young lady who grew up in Rwanda. In 1994 her family was brutally murdered along with about a million others of the Titsi tribe. For years the two main tribes the Titsi and the Hutu tribes inter-married and were good neighbors and then the peoples of Rwanda were whipped into a bloody genocide of the Titsi tribe. Immacuee survived the slaughter for 91 days , she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor's home while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them. This prompted the question: America knew what was happening in Rwanda, but did nothing.....How does our government decide who to help and who not to help? Our country is fighting a war in Afganistan and Iraq. We entered war in Vietnam, Korea, and certainly other places in the world--why not Rwanda? I am amazed, what this woman did. I have trouble sitting still or entertaining myself for a few hours with my thoughts......How did this woman do it for 91 DAYS? A bathroom isn't very big --- especially for seven women. They were fed table scraps from the Pastors family......Immaculee went into hiding weighing 115 pounds....when she came out of hiding she weighed 65 pounds. The human spirit is really something to admire! Great Book!
