Yes Sudan and Darfur are far away. NO! THEY ARE NOT: THEY ARE JUST A BLOG AWAY FROM YOU.
Thanks, among others, to Harvard Senior Fellow Dr James F. Moore's blog crusade, the level of public awareness about the horrors that are again and again perpetrated in cursed Darfur has significantly increased. But, this is not enough. Jim Moore says that we can do more:
"There are many things we can do. Two come to mind immediately (please invent and share more!)
The first is to do more research on the activities and interests of the Genocide Bloc nations in regard to Sudan. China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. For example, I'd like to build on the work of Ingrid Jones and others who have been digging up information about oil interests in Sudan. And I hope to enlist in our process Nobel Peace Prize winner Bobby Muller and his new "this is rumor control" web-based, open source intelligence project, with its network of intelligence agents.
The second is to increase the volume of public outcry. We have already established a reasonable base of awareness in the US and the UK. Newspaper editorials, increasing radio and TV coverage, and the widely noted protests and celebrity arrests at the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C. But we are apparently not being heard at the level required to mobilize effective government action."
On the second suggestion, if you're not convinced read this and you'll see how ignorant we can be.
So, let's show that attitude can beat latitude and support Jim Moore's crusade. By the way where is the other Moore (Michael) on this one?: Too busy with George W. Bush I presume.
Thanks this is great.
