Paul Kagame, Rwanda's current president, has said that he needs no advise on when not to kill from people who kill their own convicts and use drones to kill innocent civilians. Kagame even sounded more morally authoritative when he argued that in Rwanda killers who conducted the 1994 genocide were forgiven rather than executed. This jibe is apparently directed at the United States where some have strongly criticized Kagame for killing his opponents. It sounds hypocritical for those who kill to tell other killers not to kill, Kagame seems to be saying. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. On which grounds, then, could the West hold Kagame accountable for killing his opponents?
