Shortly after the US withdrew from its War in Vietnam, the Khmer Rouge killed nearly 2 million people in Cambodia. Nearly 20 years later, and a short time after the US hastily withdrew from Somalia, nearly 1 million people were killed in Rwanda. In both cases, the US did little to nothing to stop the genocides. Did the US really turn a blind eye on genocide simply because it had recently been burned in a regional crisis? The answer is not so straightforward. This paper uses a comparative history of the two genocides to analyze how and why the US acted as it did.
