MAUS II First Half
After the discussion, I feel that so far in the reading that most of my questions have been answered to some extent. The primary thing that I am still unsure of is how Vladek felt guilty after Auschwitz as described by Art's therapist. This, I hope, would bring a better understanding to the character of Vladek when he talks with his son, not only about the Holocaust, but also concerning life in general.

Article Review
http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2010/oct/01/uganda-un-war-crimes-congo
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/24/congo-crimes-un
The main issue that I am finding is how the UN is dealing with the Rwanda genocide issue and the war crimes that occurred in the Congo from 1993-2003. In one of these articles, the failures of the UN are harshly criticized and in the other, Uganda had joined Rwanda and Burundi in attacking the UN for the accusation of the war crimes in the Congo. In both of these articles, it appears that UN is failing to do its job. There was a serious genocide that occurred and there still has been nothing serious dealt with by the United Nations. This just brings the question that is the UN doing right? Concerning the the defenders, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi, why are they so desperately trying to defend themselves from the UN accusations if the genocides happened because of the countries?
