This is not a natural famine, but a deliberate effort to eliminate three African tribes in Darfur so Arabs can take their land.

This is something that black muslims in this country will not acknowledge. In the muslim hierarchy, arabs are at the top. Everyone else is a second-class muslim, whether they are black, white, Asian, etc. In Africa, those who are black and muslim are treated like dirt by the arabs. Something for those who are non-arabs to consider before they embrace this lunatic cult masquerading as a religion.

"Yet while Mr. Bush has done far too little, he has at least issued a written statement, sent aides to speak forcefully at the U.N. and raised the matter with Sudan's leaders. That's more than the Europeans or the U.N. has done. Where are Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac? Where are African leaders, like Nelson Mandela? Why isn't John Kerry speaking out forcefully? And why are ordinary Americans silent?"

Usually N Kristoff and the NYT hates Bush... however, Kristoff has his finger on what is happening about Africa...he even wrote an article a couple months back pointing out how Christianity in Africa has improve the rights of women and the dignity of ordinary people....

Anybody know if this (fifth) columnist spoke out or wrote of these atrocities back in March when he came back from witnessing them? I assume the Pope has spoken out and strongly condemned these atrocities as well. I'll hold my breath.

So, when no one else does anything President Bush gets slammed for doing too little!!?? Sheesh.

Do they care about dead Muslims only when the killers are Israelis or Americans?

That's exactly right. And why doesn't President Bush speak up? Well maybe it's because the NYT and it's ilk has so besmearched his position in the world that it would end up doing more harm that good, that's why you idiot!

Just remember, Sudan is on the Human Rights Council at the UN.

Islamic leaders abroad have been particularly shameful in standing with the Sudanese government oppressors rather than with the Muslim victims in Darfur. Do they care about dead Muslims only when the killers are Israelis or Americans?

Talk about a question that needs not be asked. Since when did any so called Islamic leader ever criticize another for brutalizing a Muslim, let alone a Christian or Jew? The greatest inhumanity ever visited on a Muslim was by another Muslim, yet the Islamic world is silent.

To quote James Traficant, "Beam me up, Scotty!".

"As for America, we have repeatedly failed to stand up to genocide, whether of Armenians, Jews, Cambodians or Rwandans."

Remember when Madolyn "Halfbright" slipped up and said she called back to Washington, to advise that something needed to be done about the Ruwanda situation "or thousands were going to be slaughtered". She was told "No" by none other than Mr. Richard Clark, himself. Saw that on the news.........ONCE.

"Now we're letting it happen again."

I thought this article was in praise of Bush?!

This can't be the New York Times. The chief editor must be on vacation.

Like I say...when real truth escapes the gravitational pull of the mainstream media,
it's sure because their propaganda officers (former Pravda/Isvestia/Guardian/Le Monde
employees) have already launched their weekend mission to get drunk, high and/or out of town.

It's fun to see how the flunkies screw things up and let the truth slip out
at times.

Why doesn't the F'in NYT just go to the Sudan and tell those people what to do? After all, the infallible NYT knows the answer to every problem and when to give token acknowledgment to the President as a plug to further push their Socialist agenda!

Well, the Africans are busy with their Swiss bank accounts, and no one has told Kerry what to say.

See? Wasn't that simple?

Remind me again why all those Americans were storming Omaha Beach in 1944?
