Since when does the U.S. care about that? We didn't care about the Jews before Japan attacked us, we stood by during the Rwanda genocide...And let us not forget Saddams genocidal actions against the Kurds
We've a sketchy history when it comes to claiming that moral highground
The US has always appeared selective regarding which dictator to remove who is using genocide against his own people. Nixon and Carter ignored Idi Amin of Uganda; Reagan and all successors have ignored Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe; Reagan and all successors have been reluctant to interfere in Sudan. And we probably wouldn't have gotten involved in Libya if it weren't for the uprising by the people to unseat Ghadaffi who, until then, was being treated like a friend and ally.
