The politics of Darfur

Here is the thing, an atrocity is being committed against humanity. The amount of devastion that the people of Darfur have endured is unimaginable. We in the west can not relate to this devastation. The closest we have seen was 9-11 and Katrina. And today, we still have people talking about the devastation. (And yes, people are still suffering-I am not Ann Coulter) The point being- the suffering in Darfur is so much more severe and we do nothing. People argue that we weren't there for Rwanda, and we weren't, but you must learn from your mistakes. Today, unlike in Rwanda, we are getting information about Darfur at lighting quick speeds. We have the information and means to act, yet we don't. There is this big divide between the left and right. A divide that is so great that hundreds of thousands of people are falling into the deep crevasse. I was too young to do anything in Rwanda, but I am not now. I may be a right-wing conservative or a left-wing liberal, but it won't matter in how I choose to act on Darfur.
