You're probably aware of the ongoing conflict in Darfur. Some of the highlights are ethnic cleansing, death toll in the hundreds of thousands, over a hundred thousand refugees, you know, pretty much par for the course. 

You can find out a bit more from here or in the news

If you're reading this, I know you've got 5 minutes that you could spend writing your representatives in the House and the Senate. Just use the 'find your representative' (upper left of the House site) and 'find your Senators' (upper right of the Senate site) buttons and drop them a quick email.

All you need is to throw together a line or two saying that you think it's important that we do something. Let them know that you don't think we should just stand by idly when things like this happen. Make them understand that this is an issue you care about, that you support actions they've already taken and encourage them to continue and go further. 

If you're really lazy, you could just take 5 seconds and send a postcard to The President

I'm sure Mandee and ZT (among others here) can tell us more (and have already done a lot more than I'm asking). If anyone's really motivated, they might be able to tell you more that you can do.

I'm on the executive board for my school's chapter of STAND (Students Taking Action Now: Darfur). We sold awesome t-shirts and raised a ton of money. Almost everyone has one of these shirts. Also, in the spring we got our administration to approve restrictions on direct investments in certain companies operating in Sudan. We're still determining the offending companies. I think that one of the best ways to help this campaign is divestment from companies who provide revenue to the Sudanese goverment and don't do anything to help the people of Sudan. This makes a huge impact on the Sudanese government. So, you should all get your school/company/whatever to make restrictions on their Sudan investments.

You really think we want to send our military to Darfur to get AIDS? I think not. Plus basically the entire world doesn't give a damn about Darfur. Notice how the UN has its head too far up its own ass to do anything about it. They're focused on more important things. Like Iran.

Well, in that case, maybe we can make it a 'canned hunt' tourist destination and turn over a tidy profit in the process.

 So, you should all get your school/company/whatever to make restrictions on their Sudan investments

I'll get in touch with the Board of Regents at ASU and the school's President (unfortunately, they're mostly money hungry bastards who'd gladly have a million people die in the third world to get their investments to go up a half a point).

 You really think we want to send our military to Darfur

Yes. 

to get AIDS

You're kidding right? Oh yeah - I forgot it's airborne. Damn flying monkeys. 

 the entire world doesn't give a damn about Darfur

They should. We're so busy crying about 3,000 USians getting killed 5 years ago. Tragic though that may be, we're talking about more than 100x that many people killed in this conflict alone (and, very sadly, it's not unique). 

They're focused on more important things. Like Iran.

Because (a) it would be utterly impossible for us or the UN to do two things at once and (b) Iran is the next Iraq except that it's even harder to win (not just by a little bit) and we don't have an effective, politically acceptable defense against Basiji human wave attacks.

The world is full of people I dont know about who are dying in sensless ways.
The world is overcrowded and could do with a major cull, it's unfortunate that we can't choose to do away with the tards first - then the a-holes and so on. But for now I will take what ever we can get. Darfur seems as good a place as any to start - where is all the fuss about the Africans dying from AIDS because they cannot get the right drugs free of charge - If the goverments cared they could spend money on drugs not weapons. When my goverment and yours stop selling arms (or millitary advice, training etc) to these tin pot countries then maybe I could get involved in supporting something at the moment our goverments only get involved in conflicts that they have a financial reason to, not a humanitarian reason.

Who cares? If the people there want to fight the gov't go ahead. Why should the US do more to help those people than they do for themselves? Besides isn't the US military evil? Would sending them to stop the genocide help? One day the US is evil, the next day the US should stop evil. Why don't you do-gooders finish your bowl of organic granola and go to Dafur yourselves? Or better yet you could volunteer for military service and learn first-hand what life in the military is really like. I wonder why the peaceful nations of Islam aren't in Darfur helping the victims there? Maybe the brave and wise UN will fix the situation like they did in..... wait, what problem has the UN ever solved?....If the West wants to help we could give rifles to the refugees and they could fight there own battles.

I didn't say nothing can be done about Dafur. Just that the people directly effected have the primary responsibility.

One day the do-gooders say "who is the US to act like the world's policeman." Next day "when is the US going to do something to stop this from continuing?"

My invitation is if you are concerned go and fight the bad guys. If you aren't willing I suspect you just talk the talk to make yourself feel better and advertise to others how you care more than they do.

To President George Bush and Secretary General Kofi Annan.

Every day, the 2.5 million people chased from their homes in Darfur face the threat of starvation, disease, and rape, while the few lucky enough to remain in their homes risk displacement, torture and murder. Therefore, we call on you to do the following:

- Strengthen the understaffed and overwhelmed African Union peackeeping force already in Darfur.
- Push for the deployment of a strong UN peacekeeping force.
- Implement the Darfur Peace Agreement.
- Increase humanitarian aid and ensure access for aid delivery.

Six things you can do to help prevent genocide

- KEEP INFORMED. Find out more about what is going on. Your gateway to more information is the Web site www.committeeonconscience.org.

- CONTACT THE MEDIA. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper or to other news outlets to comment on their coverage of Darfur or to express your views about the importance of public attention to the story.

- COMMUNICATE WITH THE GOVERNMENT. Tell your government representatives your views and concerns about events in Darfur.

- SUPPORT RELIEF EFFORTS. Find out more about relief organizations mounting efforts to help civilians affected by the crisis. They may have ideas of ways you can help. See the Committee on Conscience Web site for a link to listings of relief organizations operating in Darfur.

- GET ENGAGED IN YOUR COMMUNITY. Talk about Darfur to your friends, family, members of organizations you belong to, and coworkers—help spread the word. Look for groups within your community who may also be working to help address the crisis. Schools, churches, synagogues, mosques, and groups across the country are making a difference.

- SUPPORT THE MUSEUM. Help sustain the ongoing efforts of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to draw attention to what is happening in Darfur. Send a donation through the website.


Your voice can make a difference. Do not be silent.

Can you name another serious conflict and humanitarian crisis where these steps FIXED anything?

Seems to me these brutal ethnic clashes demonstrate how the US 2nd Amendment is so wise. If the Christians/ Animists of Darfur were well armed at the start then the Islamic militas would have been more cautious about attempting genocide.

Sometimes evil is so strong or ruthless that nothing less than armed response is effective. Is Sudanese gov't going to quake when a truckload of petitions lands on the Foreign Ministers desk?

Maybe the brave French Army can rush in and save the day, they are good at fighting weak peoples.

Like, back in the day they had the draft but on the plus side they didn't have social policies creating groves of poor people to harvest in a draftless democracy. But then again everyone was so poor that such a thing wasn't necessary.

Austen Tayshus said:
the british were like "we need to clear the shipping lanes of the dardanelles"
and the aussies were like "fucking holiday!"

I was reading this book last night called Women and War by Jean Bethke Elshtain and the ignorance was out of control. And it occurred to me not for the first time that the reason people get so utterly impracticable with their outlooks on life is that they take food and shelter for granted. Once you do that, all kinds of Isms can spring to life and decorate your mind.

Call Your Members of Congress Today!

Today, thousands of students and activists across the country will call their members of Congress to ask for better civilian protection for the people in Darfur. These phone calls may help decide whether or not the African Union (AU) peacekeepers will receive funds they desperately need. Can you join these critical efforts and make a call to your member of Congress today?

The AU peacekeepers immediately need funds to continue their peacekeeping operations. Congress must appropriate at least $60 million more now to help protect civilians in Darfur. This will only happen if they hear your voices demanding an end to the genocide.

All it takes is 3 easy steps:

1. RESEARCH: Go to the newly updated www.DarfurScores.org and find the phone number and grade for your members of Congress.

2. CALL: Use STAND's talking points to help you when asking for more peacekeeping funds in Darfur.

3. REPORT: Let us know that you made a call here.

The people of Darfur need your voice today. Help make a difference by calling your member of Congress about Darfur today!

Darfur - the people need to start doing something for themselves - even Americas favourite cowards the French took to the streets and brought about revolution - The People Acted - The Army could not stop them - The UN is a pointless fucking organisation that does nothing more than protect certain interests.
Don't believe me look into the oh so recent war in Serbia - when the UN actually stood by and let thousands of people be murdered and we saw it again in Rowanda.

Funny that you would put a gun banning communist like Mandela (whose policies have helped crime to explode) in the same sentence as Ghandi.

"I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor." — Mohandas K.

The world is overpopulated anyway. 

I'm pretty sure we discussed this before (in a thread very similar to this), but that's a completely lame and retarded excuse.

There are something like 6.5 billion people on the planet, growing at a rate of something like 75 million per year (and that rate has actually been decreasing over the last 50 years). 

In Darfur hundreds of thousands of people have been slaughtered. That's less than one percent of the annual growth of the world's population. You'd need tens or hundreds of Darfurs every year to make an appreciable impact on population growth.

Yes, the world is overpopulated. That has absolutely squat to do with allowing a bunch of people to suffer terribly.

At best, it's just a bullshit excuse you can tell yourself so you don't feel so bad about standing by and doing nothing.

There are 119,000 children waiting to be adopted in the foster care system alone. Why not do that and actually impact a person's life rather than just doing something that "feels good" just to say you feel like you've made a difference. It's not a question of amount of people helped, it's a question of doing something that actually helps someone versus doing something that feels like you're helping people but really has no effect.

Good god man, we can barely get americans off their asses to go down to the border to embarrass the federal government's INTENTIONAL allowing of the mexican invasion, there's no WAY the U.S. government or americans have the wherewithal to do SQUAT about Darfur.

The REAL question you SHOULD be asking is why BLACKS don't arm themselves and head over there to defend their brothers. Ah that's right, it's because american blacks are lazy and only know how to use guns to rob the quickie mart or spray bullets at a house in a drive by or between cars. Maybe if we brought the Janjuweed over HERE, they would clean up Detroit/Chicago/Philly so the crime rate would go down. Just wishful thinking.

If there was WHITE genocide going on, you'd BET something would be done.

The American Rule-Of-Law Party believes in a strong centralized authority to promote the general welfare and provide for a common defense, as stated in the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution. The United States is too vast to be governed locally. However, the American Rule-Of-Law Party rejects the assumption that a strong centralized authority can abuse its power and make up a mandate as it goes along. It is with this in mind that we call for an immediate dismantling of the U.S. tax code. The labyrinthine bureaucracy of the IRS has supplanted whatever remains of reason and self-determination in the American character. It has crippled free enterprise and curtailed the prosperity of millions of hard-working people. According to the Rule-Of-Law plan, active civic (not civil) service would replace the yearly 1040 tax form and, indeed, our parliamentary governmental structure. (This latter point is a subject on which my shortsighted colleagues in the Libertarian Party are curiously silent.) As in Israel and Switzerland, Americans between the ages of 18 and 27 would be expected to serve in the armed forces for a minimal tour of duty of two years. Americans ages 28 to 55 would be required to serve on reconstructed, quorum-based democratic deliberative bodies, based on ancient Greek models of governance. High offices would be based on Roman models, but individuals who serve in these posts would be selected by a national lottery. Thus, any American age 35 or over, male or female, black or white, gay or straight, religious or atheist, could be chosen president. This will not only eliminate our present corrupt "professional" bureaucratic and political class, but endow Americans with an empowering sense of responsibility not present in these days of media-brokered elections and smothering corporate lobbying.

If Darfur was a decent looking blonde, we'd care.

Dear TLC,

On Sunday December 10th, as part of UN World Human Rights Day, activists in cities around the world will hold demonstrations in front of the Sudan's embassies to "Raise the Alarm" on Darfur. We have called on communities of faith to participate through the "Weekend of Prayer and Action," December 8th-10th.

I would like to invite you to participate in this weekend's important activities by asking your house of worship to add its name to an urgent sign-on letter to President Bush.

We hope to use this weekend to bring diverse communities of faith together in calling on the president to take immediate action to stop the genocide in Darfur.

In particular, we hope to raise awareness of the horrific situation women and girls face every day in Darfur.

Women and girls as young as 8 years old are being raped and sexually assaulted by the Janjaweed on a daily basis as part of a calculated strategy of genocide.

They live in constant fear of attack. Even routine tasks such as searching for firewood have become perilous for them.

Please ask your house of worship to sign on to the letter urging President Bush to act immediately to end these atrocities. Click here to let us know if you plan to ask the leaders of your house of worship to add its name to the letter.

You will be joining hundreds of thousands of concerned people around the world who will be calling on their respective leaders to act for the people of Darfur.

Please forward this message to your friends and family and invite them to join you in participating in this effort.

Thank you again for your dedication.

Best regards,

David Rubenstein
Save Darfur Coalition

Please ask your house of worship to sign on to the letter urging President Bush to act immediately to end these atrocities.

Please tell the people of Darfur that if they want any help from the USA they will need to discover Oil, if they do that the USA and it's lapdog the UK will spend untold billions protecting (the oil) and we may as a spin off actually help the people - although its more likely that we will just oppress them and steal anything worth taking whilst at the same time setting up massive camps for our soldiers which unlike the rest of the country will have all the luxuries of normal USA & UK life.
Camp Anaconda in Iran has Swimming Pools, Cinemas, Baskin & Robbins, Supermarkets etc the soldiers eat so well they are having to take extra fitness training.
Outside the locals have open sewers, no electricity (most of the time) it's fffed up.
Darfur is no more deserving than many other countries that insist on almost continual civil war - What we need is more of a PLAN than just selling everybody guns and encouraging them to uprise against thier goverments becaus ethey may not be of the same belief of the USA or UK goverments.
Maybe it would be better if we sorted our own fucked up countries out - gangs, drugs, goverment corruption, rape, murder, single mums, absent fathers who dont pay towards the many offspring they are happy to offload onto dumbass broads, paedaphiles etc lets sort this shit out and let the rest of the world sort itself out for a while until we get it right ourselves.

It's not about being cynical - I really dont care what happens - the American millitary is killing thousands of women and children in Iraq, I dont hear any fuss over that. Yet in reality these people and this country offer no threat to America.
Listen they all live in thier own countries if after so many thousand years these people cant get it together enough to look after themselves whats to do.
Aids is ravaging Africa and India - so dont ff around or wear protection and if you do then dont complain. Raping a Virgin wont cure it so fucking wake up its the 21st century you dumb asses.
You know at some point people have to take the problem on board themselves and stop depending on others to sort it out.
Just like kids who join gangs and get shot, how sad is that? Answer not very, nobody made them choose that lifestyle, or dumb broads who get pregnant time and time again without ever having a man to pay. It's free will people.
People need to get thier shit together.
Sorry I dont care - but I dont ffing care - I dont know them - I never knew them.
My real genuine feeling about things: If you are sent to prison three times before the age of 25 you should be shot - You wont change. If you get caught fiddling with Kids you get shot - You wont change. If you father three children by three different women and never marry any of them or pay to upkeep the kids - You get shot. If you get pregnant more than once before the age of 16 you have an abortion and also have your womb shut down for good.
The world is full of tards and criminals and frankly its overcrowded and it stinks. Time for a clear out.
The funniest thing of all: these people always go to the major nations cap in hand asking for money or arms or food or something and yet push comes to shove they all hate us and our way of life.
Sorry I guess at the age of 45 I have seen this thing to many times and have stopped caring they never change - all the help we provide is like putting a plaster on a decapitated head it makes no difference in the end.
The best thing that happened to the African Americans (or African Brits) was being dragged out of the ffing jungle and being given a chance to improve thier lot.

I despise people like AceRockollaisAce. You're the reason why we can't progress in this world. However, I can't hate you specifically because I'm sure you have an adorable accent.
