One would think that the situation is hunky-dory now in Sudan, given the lack of media attention the ongoing genocide there has received. Of course, that's far from the case.

What is going on in Darfur is a stain upon humanity. Future generations will look upon what we did--or more appropriately, what we DIDN'T do--and ask, "How could they allow this to happen?"
