It killed all the people who thought about committing it.
Every nation, including the United States, should do whatever is possible to prevent genocide. Genocide is the greatest crime against our common humanity and as civilized people around the world, we must unite on this one question of the value of life.

Typically, a genocide is "certified" by leading academics when a set of circumstances in the world qualifies under the definition of genocide. This is exactly what happened in the Cambodian genocide.
Sadly, at one time in history or another, genocide has occured in nearly every nation of the world.
Being the first Genocide in modern history and in the 20th century the Armenian Genocide represents a turning point in history. It was the first time since 146 BC, that the world witnessed a mass massacre planned to abolish a complete race. It didn't catch enough attention at that time and was pretty much forgotten until mass massacres such as the Holocaust and the massacres in Rwanda. So it is very important to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide in order to prevent barbarism against mankind.
The world largely dismissed the Rwandan genocide as 'tribal conflict' and didn't want to know about it till it was over.

Although we would like to prevent all atrocities, it is simply not possible to do so. If the US have the resources and have the international support to help stop atrocities, then it may be justified in some circumstance. But by no means should there be an "obligation". As well, how can we "prevent" atrocities without interfering with other countries soveriengty? Unless there is clear evidence of genocide, we cannot interfere simply based on the grounds of speculative "prevention".
