FOR WHOM THE BELLS TOLL

The U.S did nothing 

According to Gourevitch in We wish to inform you…, Presidential Decision Directive 25 involved guidance to its diplomats that should a peacekeeping mission arise that the U.S. Government wanted to avoid, it should not only not do it but urge others not to undertake it, in other words, actively resist and encourage resistance from others. This was what guided U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Madeleine Albright's shameful behavior. Gourevitch points out that the U.N.'s specific Rwanda proposal would not have required U.S. troops and that this was not peacekeeping but rather genocide prevention. Despite the strenuous efforts to prevent any meaningful action, the U.N. did agree to an intervention force but the U.S. would only lease armored personnel carriers at $15 million. But then, it would not make available transport planes. As press pressure mounted, the Clinton Administration countered by saying it would help with the clean up of corpses.
