This disturbs me. Blame for the slaughter in Rwanda in large part belongs to Kofi Annan, the French, and Bill Clinton, and I have never been shy about saying so.

The destruction in South Sudan has been worse, and other than expressing the proper sentiments, and daring (daring!) to use the word "genocide", I can't say that the Bush administration has done much more than did Clinton in his day.

I realize that Bush has a lot on his plate, but if you slow-walk this thing, the South Sudanese will be dead. A slow-motion response on the part of the US, UN, et al, is to be complicit in mass murder.

Standing by and taking notes gives the appearance of action, but at the end of the day, the dead are still dead.

It is disturbing, and has been going on for 20 years as the article mentioned, not just the two years the conflict has been brought to the Darfur region.

(Ironically, the article calls this government sponsored genocide of the arab government in the north against the people in the south "a 20-year civil war" but calls this newest front in Darfur an "Islamic government launched an ethnic-cleansing campaign against blacks". Its the same northern arab conquest against the blacks in the south, just expanded these last two years to the western Darfur region!)

I remember reading many an article about this very thing happening while Clinton was bombing Kosovo to smithereens. Articles pointed out the irony of allowing this massive genocide and yet taking on the Serbia cause so enthusiastically.
