But absolutely we should look at things in a historical context. Would Stalin have been able to purge the Kulaks if images had been broadcast throughout the world of the consequences? I doubt he would have lasted a year.

That being said, there is an element of fighting the last war here. Certainly Kofi Anan was moved to start this whole debate as a direct result of his experience with Rwanda.
