|text=I do not suggest that Washington planned to shield Kagame from international prosecution, or that the US was the only Security Council member to embrace him... However, once Washington [...] entered into a partnership with the ‘new’ Rwanda, it was committed to moving forward – and this implied burying the past and oftentimes also ignoring the present. At every critical moment since then, Washington exhibited ‘path dependence’: the set of decisions it faced regarding Rwanda was limited by the decisions it had made (or not made) in the past, even though past circumstances were no longer relevant.
