I just finished watching 60 Minutes. Scott Pelley did a story on the genocide in Darfur. Many Americans seem unaware of the murders that are taking place over in Africa. At least 180,000 people (men, women and children) have been killed and two million are homeless with many living in death camps with nowhere to go.
These people were attacked in their villages. The men were killed and the women gang raped and then killed. Some of the people, mostly women, were able to escape with children they could save. They now are living in horrendous conditions awaiting their fate.
What is their fate? Without the intervention of countries such as the United States and the United Nations, these people will probably be murdered like their family members.
Why has the United States not intervened? Because the dictator responsible for the genocide has been feeding the Bush administration little tidbits of information about al Qaeda. We are looking the other way as a nation as this man, who is very much like Hitler, is going about the business of exterminating these people.
I encourage you to read this story about Scott Pelley's search for a teen-aged boy named Jacob, whose family was killed in a raid on his village and whose school books were found among the ashes of his burned home. After you read it, please say a prayer for Jacob and the other people of Darfur. Say a prayer also for us as a human race that we become more compassionate and caring. These people being slaughtered in Darfur live in a country with no oil, so what goes on there is of little interest to world leaders. But please show our leaders that they do matter to us.
Contact your representatives in Congress and email the Whitehouse and let President Bush know how you feel. Here is the link to the 60 Minutes story.

Whoever thinks that the American people would not stand for a dictator, wake up we already have one. The times of overthrowing a government that is armed with spears and knives is over. This is a real military with real bullets, ones that explode on impact. You get shot in the leg, you die.
Look at this link here. It is the official Army news. Notice the dates, and the objectives. Pretty scary stuff
