It is extremely sad that we live in a time where politicians openly talk about the Darfur tragedy yet no one seems to want to do anything about it.
Rawanda happened in the mid 90s and we promised ourselves something like that would never happen again. Here we are in the midst of a tragedy that is about to eclipse the horrors of Rawanda and once again our government is paying lip service and doing nothing concrete.
Both the republicans and democrats have promised to do something about it. Once again, all we are getting are empty promises while over 500,000 have been killed, nearly 3 million displaced and an untold number of women brutaly raped and sold into slavery.
Similar to how ignorant the world was 70 years ago, when the jews of Europe were being systematically disenfranchised then led to slaughter, once again the world is turning a blind eye to this madness.
Shame on us, shame on our goverment and shame on the United Nations, which was originally set up to stop this sort of thing from happening in the first place.
