A genocide like the one going on in Darfur today is a force of nature. Human beings can no more prevent it than they can stop a raging typhoon. All the politicians can do is appear to be trying to do something about it so that they won't be blamed, and that's what's going on. I suspect that, by this time, most of the international politicians are well aware that the death of a million people in Darfur cannot be stopped.
This comes just a few months after the international community gathered together to mourn the genocide that killed a million people in Rwanda in 1994. At that meeting, the politicians bemoaned the fact that they didn't stop the 1994 genocide, and they vowed that they would never let it happen again. It's ironic that a new genocide would call their bluff by occuring so soon after, but the fact is that they could not have prevented the Rwanda genocide if they had wanted to, and they can't prevent the Darfur genocide today.
This is something from and article i found about the genocide thats going on in africa. I do beleive that whats going on is wrong and it can deffinatly be stopped. I just think that theirs people hiding behind everything and letting everything happen the way it is. someone CAN stand up for whats right they just choose NOT to.Whats your opinion on that?
