History repeats itself - but the world "leaders" ignore it.

KHARTOUM, starring Charleton Heston, is a Grand, Historic, Sweeping Epic with a cast of thousands.
Does history repeat itself? I first saw this movie years ago. After the first terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center in the mid-1990's, when Osama Bin Laden first declared a "jihad" against the United States, I was reminded of the movie. Osama Bin Laden is the spitting image of the "Mahdi", played by Lawrence Olivier. The parallels are uncanny. Believing that he was "the predicted one" spoken of by the prophet Muhammad to bring the sword against infidels and convert the world to Islam, the Mahdi sprung up from the deserts of the Sudan in 1883 to organize a Holy War against the British Empire and all Christendom. A century later, Bin Laden also sprung up from the Sudan (he was expelled from Sudan in 1996 and his assets there seized). In fact, recall when then U.S. President Bill Clinton bombed the aspirin factory there in an attempt to annihilate Bin Laden - in Khartoum! To understand what is taking place in the world today, this movie is a must see. I would highly recommend it for high school and college students, as well as adults desiring to make sense of what drives the radical Islamic jihadists. This movie reveals that their radical mindset is nothing new - it was alive and well in 1883 much the same as today. Besides being a true story, Khartoum is a gripping tale of good versus evil, full of action, battles, and edge of your seat suspense and intrigue. If you haven't seen Khartoum, do it now. It's a TOP 10 for sure.

Proves once again that if you have oil and don't get too far out of hand like Saddam, you are not going to land on any terrorist lists. Why isn't Saudi Arabia on the list? From whence did the majority of 9-11 terrorists originate? Saudi Arabia. The day we see a Bush family member punish Saudi Arabia will never come. Too many business ties, friends, and interests. Looks like Sudan sadly is falling into the same pile.

Excellent post...

Too bad there aren't any Sudanese lobbiests in Washington, eh? Or Hollywood "heroes" willing to make light of this outrage...

Oh, that's right -- the scourge of Africa is AIDS, and NOT Islam, Communism, or ruthlessly oppressive African "leaders".

Now that Boy Clinton eight years of ignorance are over, will Dubya address this tragedy?

The author makes a major mistake, in my view, calling a systematic slaughter over a period of years a "Hollocaust." The use of this term has become a way to mystify a policy, rather than effectively analyze it, so that it may more likely be prevented in the future. For a classic example of how really self-defeating such a packaging label is, see Cult Of "The Holocaust"--Golden Calf Of The 20th Century.

The whole subject of ethnic, religious and class slaughters is being deliberately confused today, so as not to embarrass the forces on the Left, who wish to force Uniformity on all mankind. Thus the real causation--the intolerance of those who seek human uniformity (Equality & new World Orders)--goes largely unremarked.

I am aware that the issues are somewhat different in the Sudan than in the Communist and Nazi slaughters of high achievers in Europe. But they spring out of a similar intolerance for variation, for deviation from a pursued norm.

Great Post ’vlad. Nice to see some of the horrors outside of Rhodesia getting a little attention (if that can be nice anyway).

The only real problem I had with the article was the passage:
Journalists like Dan Rather have bought into reports that slavery is not really taking place…

Now, I can always be found at the head of the pack of those ready to bash The Dan, but this statement just isn’t true. What Rather said was that lefty idiots like John Eibner actually promote slavery by purchasing the slaves to give them freedom. This only further fuels the market for slaves. Further, it’s surely no surprise that Eibner and his feel good fools are routinely duped into buying “Slaves” who aren’t really slaves at all. Often they’re just kids promised a 20% cut of Eibner’s money for posing as slaves.

The statistics Alexander brings up at the start are truly horrific. The more one looks at the racist left and their insanely prejudiced coverage of crimes such as these, the more a rational person must loathe them.

Alexander makes her best point in the last paragraph pointing out that so long as the aggressor is black and the victim a Christian (at least that’s what I think she tried to say), all is right in the liberal view of the world.

Good article on raising funds to purchase freedom of Christian slaves in the Sudan at Dr. James Dobson's site. Pros and Cons discussed. If it is good policy, we could all chip in and get some folks free. Slaves sell for between $15 and $100 according to the article. Some fear that this encourages more slaves to be captured. See what you all think?
