are we ever going to do something about darfur?
how long has it been since colin powell called it genocide?
gops still bring up clinton's failure to stop the murder of at least 800k rwandans in '94, but that orchestrated slaughter began and ended in only a couple months—so fast it was hard for anyone outside rwanda to grasp what was happening, let alone organize an international response.
the darfur ethnic cleansing is much slower. when powell spoke of it, the number of deaths was estimated at around 30k. now it's 180k, maybe a lot more.
instead of threatening to withhold our UN dues, why aren't we getting the security council to take effective action?
as samantha power asked on "60 minutes," what is our excuse for watching this happen in slow motion?
