Darfur

Nicholas Kristof says that a little bit of attention can save thousands of lives in Darfur. But we aren't even doing that. See Kristof's video report (approximately 7 1/2 minutes).
Mr. Bush values a frozen embryo. But he hasn't mustered much compassion for an entire population of terrorized widows and orphans. And he is cementing in place the very hopelessness he dreads, by continuing to avert his eyes from the first genocide of the 21st century.
