Diana, those remarks were not meant to be personal. I generally take the to name out when doing this, and I forgot this time.

Not to worry, most teachers couldn’t find half the major cities in the US on a map let alone Darfur. Its kind of like white noise until the dems need a diversion.

Just how are we to take care of Darfur? Take it over? Send in Peace keepers? Airlift the people out to America? What can we do? Santions will not work. Its a mess. If we keep talking about this problem it will go away when there are no more Christians etc... to kill.

Hey Mia, there was genocide with Hussein’s regime, oh but that is Bush’s war, that’s right, I forgot—and 9/11 never really happened. But we took care of that pretty good. Well then, how about Boy Clinton’s Kosovo and Somalia campaigns? Brave US Soldiers prosecuted those wars to the best of their ability only to have your boy president betray them. Yeah, I particularly like the “home by Christmas” mantra over Kosovo, uh huh, how long has that been now? Yeah, they’re still there.

Let’s see Mia, what should we do about Iran?? Grace us with your vast knowledge. How about the Muslim scourge in the Philippines, Indonesia and all around the world? Do you still run around with your bumper sticker “FREE TIBET!”? I think they’re under Communist rule, isn’t that like what Cuba is under? Don’t you like Fidel?? I work for a man that says, “What can a tiny island like Cuba do anyway?”. I guess like you, he forgot about all the Cuban soldiers throughout Central America (FOR DECADES) and elsewhere killing folks, supplied by Russia, er, the Soviet Union, er CCCP or whatever, oh well...

What’s your point about Chinese arms and materiel? Hell, have you looked on the things you buy lately? What’s the problem, isn’t China under the same form of government that Cuba is?? And Tibet?? I just need help in all of this and I know that you can set us all straight in world affairs.

By the way, have you served your country yet? Just asking. Our Armed Forces accept women you know...

She looks more like Woody Allen with each passing year. Must’ve been “True Love.” ;)

The anti-war left wants to start WW3 with China over Africa and central Asia (Burma). I think they have no idea of the strategic implications of these regions but they see people suffering and imagine we can send a few “peace keeping troops” and make the world a happy place.

They have no clue what bringing our military into a Chinese psuedo-colony would do to instigate a new war unlike any of the tiny skirmishes going on today...

Could somebody enlighten me on what I think is a very important matter? A few years back (maybe 10 years ago) I read that (black) Christians in southern Sudan were being tortured and murdered by the thousands by the (muslim) leaders of the country.I don't recall hearing a single denizen of Hollyweird protesting this slaughter and yet every Western leftist is weeping over what's happening in Darfur today.

Does anyone recall if there was anything resembling a serious outcry,particularly in Hollyweird,over this slaughter of Sudanese Christians?
