Darfur

[Canadian_NewDemocrat]

So, uh, what do you think of the Crisis in Darfur?

[FrenchieCat]

1. I think that it is terrible.

and that we are not doing the right thing, again.

and that whatever interest this administration has in the Sudan...due to the Oil, whomever has the power of it currently is OK by Bush...which is why we are dragging our tails getting involved unilaterally via the UN or NATO.

[Canadian_NewDemocrat]

2. aye

what about the allegations by the Sudanese president and various radicals that The Coalition to Save Darfur is run by mostly Jewish organizations, thus being pawns of Israeli strategic interests?

[FrenchieCat]

3. Does this mean that Black People aren't dying in Darfur?

or what, exactly? :shrug:

But if you're asking, according to the website, here are the various groups involved. Looks pretty diverse to me...

4. It's Incomprehensible

And I understand that very few people are paying attention. It's just overwhelming.
