Back to Africa

Though this issue has been addressed ala Bush-style I feel the need to illustrate this pressing matter of the Darfur Region of the Sudan. As of now over 400,000 people have been killed. This does not include the little girls not much older than my own daughters being gang raped. Think about that people. A woman in this country can stir up the media to the frenzy point for about a month over a simple rape. (Which turns out to be bullshit) Nevermind a gang rape of a little girl. This is an everyday event. Think I’m lying? Listen to this interview with a Marine Captain that was there. Simply click the link, and when the page loads click “listen”. A Marine's View of the Sudan Crisis It has been estimated that over 370,000 people have died. I would like to think that it is lower than that, yet I know human nature, it’s about 400,000. Simply a number right? It rolls of the tongue so well, but think about this. What would the world do if the entire population of Moscow died in a day? Moscow’s population is about 400,000. Here’s a few more cities, just to put it into context. Long Beach CA Denver CO Tuscon AZ Ft. Worth TX Kansas City MO Nashville TN Oklahoma City OK Boston MA These cities have an approximate population of 400,000. Picture what the world would do, much less the US if Boston died. Or Fort Worth.Busch stadium, the site of the World Champion Saint Louis Cardinals holds a max 49.676. Fill up ten Busch stadiums. And the American response to this situation? "The Secretary of State visited every region of the world in her first months in office, and Africa came last. Not only that, Dr. Rice is cutting short her first trip to the continent as America’s foreign policy chief to travel onward to Israel and the West Bank. This sends a clear signal that the Middle East is more important in her eyes, and Africa - the land of her own ancestors - is at the very bottom of the U.S. foreign policy agenda." Sudan Scuffle Not News: Genocide Is! Sooo, we demand apologies for getting roughed up, but what about the genocide? Never again eh? THIS is why “they” hate us. They hate our bullshit foreign policy that claims to stand upon the pillars of freedom and justice. Where is the justice for the little girl that got gang raped? The father that cannot get any help from his family out of fear of the Janjaweed? Here is a humble suggestion to the question that is no doubt in your head.
