They only way that it would have been stopped in time was for the US to make a plausible threat to immediately intervene with all due speed and all necessary means to stop it. The US would be called all sorts of names for this, of course, if the genocide were stopped early enough most of the rest of the world would have denied its existence...but the disgust of the rest of the world would have been the necessary price paid by the US to stop genocide.
