An outrage, and a tragedy.

Yes, the Rwandans did the killing, but in the even responsiblity ultimately rests with the Belgians, as it was a result of a century of racist indoctrination and enforced apartheid by the Belgian colonial authorities of the Tutsi and Hutu. at the time of the genocide, the belgians were in a stronger position than any other nation to intervene to stop the slaughter, but they simply looked the other way and washed their hands of it. And yes, banning KKK masks is also an attack on human liberty but it is most certainly not comparable to banning veils. The former is a public symbol of hatred intended solely to offend, while the latter is a deeply personal observance of religious duty.
