The pressure has to be put on the Chinese because they are funding the Sudanese by buying their oil. Many of the weapons that are killing the people in Darfur are from China. China is scouring the earth of all of it’s natural resources and they have a receptive player in the Sudanese. Many of the weapons confiscated in Afghanistan at the beginning of the war, were from China. Chinese weapons continue to get into the hands of the insurgents. Bomb making material is coming from China. Well President Bush, what are you going to do about China? That is where the pressure should be put. You know the UN will do nothing, nor will the international community, they haven’t done anything so far. They drag their feet and creep around international issues unless there is something in it for them. Why do you sit up there and make empty speeches that you know will come to nothing because you are leaving office? Why don’t you get the international community to do something about China, or is it that everyone just wants cheap goods? Maybe if you withdraw our troops from Europe and then they have something at stake (supplying their own security), they will get more involved. They didn’t want to do anything about Bosnia or the Taliban or Osama Bin Laden, although most countries had terrorist activities and bombings. While we are at it, why hasn’t congress done anything about Darfur? Why haven’t they pursued the issue? They have more power than the president. If they wanted to do something about it, they could have. I am not happy with Bush, but c’mon Wowowow, the article seems a little simplistic.

Darfur is not a simple subject, and Congress can’t do a whole lot on its own. http://www.cfr.org/search.html?q=darfur&ie=&site=cfr&output=xml_no_dtd&c… Here is some resource material. And, it goes back a few years.

Not to take the attention away from this atrocity, but Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe is another of several unforgivable wrongs being done to humans that should not be tolerated by anyone who has knowledge of it. They are as much a monster as Hitler ever was. i would rather see those wrongs being addressed than Iraq or Afganistan. I know, I know, terrorists and all that, but that’s my opinion.

This is really a bit over the top. Of all the Presidents in the history of the United States, President Bush has done more to help the people residing in Africa than any other President. He has led the effort to stem the AIDS epidemic by sending in thousands of medical personnel and spending billions of dollars in supplies. The American effort has made a difference and all for the better. Yes, there is much to be done and a whole hatful of prejudices yet to overcome. However, this President decided to face the AIDS crisis head on and his decision has been lauded throughout the continent. As for genocide occurring in areas of Darfur, what exactly does anyone expect the President of the United States to do? When genocide was occurring in Rwanda, President Clinton was also powerless to stop the killing. He did nothing while perhaps as many as a million or more people were slaughtered. Who is in favor of sending American armed forces into Africa? Anyone? President Clinton could not do it nor can President Bush. If the nations of the world want genocide to cease then the peoples of those countries must offer up their troops in sacrifice to end the killing. And so far not one country on this planet is willing to make that sacrifice because the people are not in agreement. So genocide continues… from one poor African country to the next. By the way, the author of this article for wOw is woefully prejudicial.
