I have a lot of respect for Dallaire, which was raised by a power of 17 when I read his book.
And that's why I refuse to see Hotel Rwanda, which I understand paints him as a useless drunk....
From what I understand, Hotel Rwanda is from the viewpoint of a guy who risked his life pretending the refugees he was hiding were not refugees. Perhaps the guy sees Dallaire as useless because he wasn't able to do anything, even though he wanted to do everything in his power to save the Tutsi.
