Darfur Update: Still Waiting on GW


GlobalSecurity.org, a military-minded site priding itself on knowing what is going on in the security world is reporting that humanitarian relief efforts in Darfur are on the verge of collapse.
Their authority is Jan Egeland, United Nations Undersecretary for Humanitarian Affairs.

Its all pretty grim. 200,000 in need of food and getting none. 650,000 entirely beyond the reach of aid. Government interference. International indifference. The usual.

Our Own President, of course, reviewed a report on the Rwandan genocide and wrote "Not On My Watch" in the margin. People thought he meant he would not permit another genocide. Maybe he just meant in Rwanda.

So it looks like we have yet another unanswerable question from our grandchildren. What did you do when Bush stole the election, Grandpa ? What did you do when Bush lied us into a war, Grandpa ? What did you do when Bush stole the election, Grandpa ? What did you do when Bush allowed a million to die in Darfur, Grandpa ? Grandpa ?
