I think when you use the word "peeps" to address the thousands of Tutsis that have been maliciously slaughtered by once friends and neighbors then it really shows how ignorant you are.

Query - have any of you read the book, or looked at the plan? It's clever, not perfect but at least it's something more than Sally Struthers standing there teary-eyed and saying "think of the children!"\n\nI'm inclined to think this plan is worth a shot. Yes, it'd be nice if Bono and Jolie would put their money where their mouths are, but it seems a far better use of tax dollars spent on foreign aid to render it through programs that actually do something rather than funnel it through dubious government entities that allow a great deal of siphoning off the top by corrupt leaders.\n\nOr we could just allow Malthusian processes to take care of it through war, famine and pestilence. Not that these don't impact us. Famine drives up the prices of crops. Pestilence, well, we now have HIV which may have been caught and contained far sooner if there was a public health infrastructure in place, and hemorrhagic fevers native to many of these regions are the stuff of nightmares. Then there's war, but I don't think I need to remind you how many situations the military has gotten into after the humanitarian portion of the mission collapsed. I think it's simply cheaper in the long-run to try to ameliorate poverty rather than deal with it's aftermath, but it's as much your tax money as it is mine, so we'll see the exit polls.

I am assuming you are referring to Phnom Penh (the city in Cambodia) - do you have any more specifics like a time frame? There have been a lot of incidents that have happened over the years - I can help if you've got a little more info. Feel free to e-mail me at sofgrant@hotmail.com and I'll do what I can.

Hell yes.  The ethnic cleansing that occured there was obscene.  NATO was right to intervene and i am sure a lot of Bosnia, especially serbs are thankful we (NATO) did. \n\nGreat Question.\nBut i have a better one.  Was NATO justified for waiting so long to intervene? The US and European powers were well aware of Slabadon Milosovic (miss spelled i am sure) and his commander "the Tiger" and were well aware that this was not just a internal civil war but a full blown genocide in motion.  We ( the US) waited for atleast over year (that we are aware of, meaning what the US government will admit to) to intervene.  \nI wish we had flown our birds and dropped the democracizers (bombs) much earlier.  It wasn't until there was on scene video reporting of roaming death squads in military uniform that we acted. \n\nWill the US and NATO be justified to go kick a** in Darfur if we ever get the political will to do so?

a journalist revisits Rwanda ten years after the genocide -http://news.bbc.co.uk/aboutbbcnews/hi/this_is_bbc_news/newsid_3731000/3731895.stm

As hard as it may seem to think of us being in the 21st Century with state of the art technology, to also live in an era where Genocide happens everyday may seem unbelievable but it is true.  In the Sudan there have been in the neigborhood of 2,000,000 people killed in trying to wipe those of their sect off the face of the Earth.  Just because it happens in the far reaches of the world from here does not mean that it is not ocurring.  The indiscrimanate act of killing in Drive-by shooting's is just an example of how it is happening in our own country.  When we think of genocide we like to think of ages gone by, however our age is probably having more of this type of things as we have much better ways to kill these days.  It is still a daily thing it is just buryed in the back pages of the newspaper when it gets reported at all.

It is now apparently Rwanda.

Yes I have, and I have to agree with you about the fact of him being the worst serial killer in history. I saw a episode on A&E about him and it was really scary as hell. One thing that was crazy is the fact they had him and let him go! Then he killed for a few more years.

No, I haven't.\nNo, I do not have the slightest intention of ever doing so.\nAnd no, if we did that we'd probably end up taking out half our own people.

the movie is pretty damn accurate.  you can also watch a movie called "sometimes in april" also about the genocide.  check out romero dalierres (sp?) book called "shaking hands with the devil".  also check out a book that is titled something like "today we regret to inform you that we will be killed with our families:  stories from rwanda"  written by a journalist.  you can also check out "century of genocide".  for further research check out how similar the rwandan genocide was to the genocide in burundi twenty years before.  VERY VERY similar.  some trial information can be found on the UN website.  good luck.

I am very concerned about this subject and have emailed Bush and my state reps.  I also joined savedarfur.  Here is the latest info I received.  Hope this helps!\n\nsome exciting news: Academy-award winner George Clooney will speak at the Save Darfur Rally to Stop Genocide in Washington, D.C., on April 30!\n\nClooney and his father, Nick, just returned on Sunday from a fact-finding trip to the Darfur region.  They now know from first-hand evidence how dire the situation in Darfur has become.  Hundreds of thousands have been killed and nearly one-third of the population of Darfur has been displaced.  And the world simply watches and waits.\n\nWe must show President Bush and other world leaders that the time to act is now!\n\nIf you can't make it to Washington there are many other rallies in other parts of the country all with goal of drawing attention to the tragic Darfur genocide.\n\n\nWe have collected hundreds of thousands of postcards.  Now we must show our will through sheer numbers.  The Rally to Stop Genocide will be a huge gathering of people from all over the country – and the world – who are committed to ending the genocide in Darfur.  \n\n\nThank you, \n\nDavid Rubenstein\nSave Darfur Coalition\n\nP.S. George Clooney will appear on the Oprah show tomorrow, Wednesday the 26th, to talk about his trip and the situation in Darfur.  Visit Oprah.com for more information and please tune in.
