Compare the international reactions to the Rwandan genocide and the 9/11 attacks. Which of the following statements best describes how they compare? (1 point)
The UN intervened in the Rwandan genocide early on in order to keep it from escalating, and the international community did not anticipate the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but reacted quickly.
The international community immediately responded to 9/11 but did not react to Rwanda until after the genocide occurred, based largely on differences in geography, culture, and political systems.
The 9/11 attacks did not receive international coverage until the war on terror was declared, and the Rwandan genocide was not known about until after aid workers discovered the murders.
The international community immediately responded to both incidents because they received comparable media coverage.
