That's right. And it didn't happen to jews.
Elie Wiesel is an excellent representation of dirty politics combined with a weak will. How could someone supposedly suffer the brutalities he had to witness and undergo and then not wish to right all the wrongs caused by similar events? He has been placed in a position of high recognotion and publicity, where he owes the world to recognize genocide and use his power to get attention on these happenings in order to start a process to rectify them. Instead, he succumbs to the pressure of not only America and Israel, but his own GREED and denounces the urgency of any present genocide and the importance of past genocides. His Holocaust was the only holocaust--- this statement is the embodiment of the selfishness that Elie Wiesel posesses. Someone in his position owes it to the world of the present and the future to act in pure selflesses. If anyone had to live through he conditions he supposedly did, he must be able to understand the evil of all genocide, not just his, and stop it.
