Yes. 
<span>In 1281, Kublai Khan and his Mongol Army attempted to invade the islands of Japan by sea. The Mongols were winning the their invasion until unexpectedly, a typhoon came through off the coast of Japan and destroyed the Mongol forces and fleet enroute to Japan. The people of Japan considered this to be a great turn of fortune for them. They believed that this great storm was sent to them as protection from the heavens and is credited with saving the Japanese Empire. It was called the Kamikaze, or Divine Wind.
</span><span>By the fall of 1944, it had become clear that the Japanese were again losing in a struggle for their empire. This time however, they were losing to the American and Allied forces in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Short on resources as well as victories, the Japanese again turned to this “divine” force in the belief that it would again save them from total annihilation by foreign forces. Only this time, instead of it being a “divine wind,” it came in the form of men who were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to help their country. These suicide pilots took on the name “kamikaze” and applied it to their airborne missions.</span>

How do you know the Iroquois believed in otherworldly powers held by the universe?
gogolik [260]
Iroquois beliefs included a conception of life as a struggle between the forces of good and evil. The "All-Father," and all embracing deity, had no form and little contact of the humans. Spirits animated all of nature and controlled the changing of the season. Key festivals coincided with the major events of the agricultural calendar.

Based on what you have learned in this lesson, write two to three sentences describing one success and one failure of Clinton’s
cupoosta [38]

When the Genocide Convention was passed by the United Nations in 1948, the world said, “Never again.”

But the history of the twentieth century instead proved that “never again” became “again and again.”  The promise the United Nations made was broken, as again and again, genocides and other forms of mass murder killed 170 million people, more than all the international wars of the twentieth century combined.

Why?  Why are there still genocides?  Why are there genocidal massacres going on right now in southern Sudan by the Sudanese government against Dinka, Nuer, and Nuba; in eastern Burma by the Burmese government against the Karen; in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by both government and rebel forces against Tutsis, Banyamulenge, Hutus, Hema, and Lendu?  Why has ethnic and religious hatred again reached the boiling point in Israel and Palestine; Côte d’Ivoire, and Burundi?                                                     

There are two reasons why genocide is still committed in the world:

1.        The world has not developed the international institutions needed to predict and prevent it.

2.        The world’s leaders do not have the political will to stop it.

In order to prevent genocide, we must first understand it.  We must study and compare genocides and develop a working theory about the genocidal process.  There are many Centers for the Study of Genocide that are doing that vital work – in Australia, Brussels, Copenhagen, Jerusalem, Montreal, Memphis, Minneapolis, New Haven, Nottingham, and elsewhere.

But studying genocide is not enough.  Our next task should be to create the international institutions and political will to prevent it.  Four institutions are needed: centers for early warning, programs for conflict transformation, standing forces for rapid intervention, and international courts for effective punishment.

1.  The U.N. Security Council and key governments need strong, independent Early Warning systems to predict where and when ethnic conflict and genocide are going to occur, and to present policy options on prevention and intervention.  The Brahimi report made by the special commission on U.N. Peace-keeping makes just such a recommendation, and it should be implemented.  Selected country desk officers and top officials of the U.N. system now hold monthly “Framework for Coordination” to discuss current crises, but inadequate staffing prevents long-range strategic planning.  There is not a single person at the United Nations whose responsible for genocide early warning and prevention.  Who do you call? Ghostbusters.
