    Should we pay more attention to Darfur? Some of you guys won't know what this is so I will tell you. It is a conflict in Sudan. Arab-Muslims and the Sudanese government are commiting mass genocide on African-Muslims. President Bush is just brushing Darfur off to the side even though it has been going on since 2003 I think 250,000 people. I am currently doing a big project on this and I was wondering what everybodies opinion on it was. So should we pay more attention to Darfur?

    Yes, after we deal with Congo. Apparently Africa doesn't matter anymore though so I don't see military aid happening.

    It pisses me off how we go to Iraq with no proof or anything when in Darfur people are being raped, slaughtered, burned and/or buried alive, etc.

    Yes, that's exactly how I feel about the situation in Congo.

    Unless there is oil there, I doubt Bush wants any part of it.And yes, I believe we should help.

    Well if we're going to "help" places like Iraq then we should be aiding these areas also.
