To the United Nations
January 5, 2008
I’m writing to ask that you intervene early, not wait, in the erupting situation in Kenya. I am deeply and personally concerned.
With Rwanda, the solutions of all parties, the UN and its member nations, were limp-wristed and inadequate.
Please get UN-troops on the ground and take the lead in supplementing Kenya’s security needs, and protecting civilians.
You remember at the end of the film Schindler’s List, when Schindler took off his watch and said “This could have bought several more lives. I could have done more…” That’s a man summing up the meaning of his life. At the end of the day and the close of our lives, it will be these least among our fellow human beings, the weak, undefended, and victimized that will either comfort or haunt us. Don’t let it be said that we did not do all we could.
