I guess I don't appreciate Diplomat Pickles Bush as much as I should.

First lady takes emotional visit to Rwanda
Urges citizens to be strong recovering from pain, ‘still so fresh,’ of genocide

KIGALI, Rwanda - Overlooking this city’s red, dusty hills where thousands were killed, Laura Bush on Thursday urged Rwandans not to lose hope as they try to heal the pain — “still so fresh” — of their country’s genocide.

She drew a parallel to U.S. history, saying, “We haven’t totally moved on” from slavery 130 years after the Civil War.

“Of course there’s no slavery any more,” she told a group of Rwandan schoolgirls, one of whom had asked her how America dealt with the aftermath of its internal conflict. “But I don’t know that we’ve totally reconciled what it means to our history,” the U.S. first lady said.

Still, Bush sounded an optimistic tone for Rwanda, still reeling from the 100 days in 1994 when Hutu militias shot and hacked to death some 800,000 minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Many men were killed or fled the country. Many women contracted the virus that causes AIDS when they were raped. Many children were left orphaned.

1. I have the feeling that

those two are out there to distract from what their husbands' murderous deeds have wrought.

How could I think anything else?
