A Sovereign State of Evil
Washington Times ^ | 23 Mar 2009 | Nat Hentoff

Though Sudan's ruthless president, Gen. Omar Hassan al-Bashir, is now subject to arrest by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, he defiantly intends to continue traveling to friendly Arab and African countries and China.

For safety's sake, however, says an aide (Sudan Tribune, March 11), his plans "will be surrounded by as much secrecy as possible." Gen. Bashir's most recent crime against humanity was expelling the most vital foreign aid organizations providing food, water and medicine to the survivors of Darfur.

Since he has become part of the Obama team, there has been no further word from Mr. Biden on actually doing something to end the genocide.

Of course not. They're too busy trying to find "common ground" with the worst the world has to offer.

The left is all talk about ‘saving the world’ when they are out of power but devoid of action when they are in power. Well, the only action they have while IN power is to forcibly silence all opposition, especially conservatives even as they blame conservatives for supposedly doing the same thing.

I never saw Bush order crowds of “anti-war” activists silenced for hanging him in effigy and death threats.

But I digress.
Notice how the feminist organizations that decried the taliban shooting women here in Afghanistan fell into shocked silence when we came in and stopped it.

When Bush was President, we heard “Darfur this” and “Darfur that” but no recognition that we were doing something, through international channels (that whole ‘no cowboy’ thing) and the left is silent again.

Now the leftist ‘saviors’ are in power and...... NOTHING WILL BE DONE! Just like NOTHING was done under Clinton and it was Bush that brought this issue up in 2000. The islamist government in Sudan has been killing civilians (mostly Christian) since the 1990s. The leftist governments of the world and the useless UN will not stop slaughter of Christians and UN “peacekeepers” are nothing more than enslaving pimps.

Good point. Since Obama’s ascension, I have not heard one pundit, hollywood activist, or other prominent lib say word one about Darfur.

Problem must have been solved on day one... Damn he’s good!
