But not many realize the brutality comedians have to face when they are “forced” to change their acts according to the setting and diverse range of their audience.

In 1994, a conflict the US couldn't understand, between clans and tribes it didn't know, in a country where there were no national interests, occurred. The Rwandan War of 1994 did not deserve US intervention. There are four contentions on why the US should not have gotten involved in this Rwandan war.
