Hotel Rwanda: I feel so helpless

After viewing the film, for a few minutes I sat there dazed- my mind was racing and thinking back to how many times situations like this have repeated themselves throughout history. You would think over the centuries, the government would have evolved to fix this error- this practice of turning a blind eye until the trouble hits home. Granted, when we DID try to "help" during the Vietnam war, things got out of hand, but that does not mean that we must abstain from involving ourselves with ANY outside problems.

But I was trying to think of things I could do as an individual to help. I feel the need to get involved now, or atleast make more people aware of such atrocities that are happening throughout the world. Because I beleive if we stay on this path of apathy, soon the things will get too out of hand, and societies will be doomed...
