GENOCIDE IN DAFUR Google made it possible with United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and have brought together compelling visual evidence of the destruction in Darfur. http://www.ushmm.org/googleearth/projects/darfur/ You can zoom in with google earth and see the details. Just visit the website above to get the layers.
I went several years ago....makes me wonder how someone like amadenajihad can deny it ever happened...
Let's watch it burn. Neat-o. It's like a video game! The obvious problem here is that Darfur's peons are not mining gold and lumber quickly enough. It's basic RTS strategy. Seriously, instead of watching Darfur burn, if you care - do something. Sitting there, watching it happen and whining about it isn't productive, now is it?
Because Muslims get a pass. From laws to rudeness to history, doesn't matter. They have a second set of rules they can live by.
I'm a member of various groups, one is 'Save Darfur Coalition' You want to help and make a difference please join the petition. Last week, Congress passed an emergency supplemental funding bill which includes $150 million to support the peacekeeping effort in Darfur through the end of September. While we applaud this decision, we are very concerned that this funding will run out on October 1st, leaving peacekeeping forces in Darfur stranded without adequate resources. The Administration has failed to request any funding for Darfur in the fiscal year 2008 budget, which starts at the beginning of October 2007. Will you please join us in calling on the President and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to urge them to fix this upcoming shortfall now before it's too late? Click here to send your message now. Congress has agreed that the President failed to address the full funding needs of Darfur peacekeeping in his recent budget request for fiscal year 2008. To quote the official language of the recently passed funding bill, Congress "is concerned that the Administration has not adequately planned for future peacekeeping activities in Sudan/Darfur in FY 2008 and urges the Secretary of State to work with the Office of Management and Budget to submit a budget amendment for FY 2008 addressing these urgent needs." Please join us and Congress in urging the President and his Office of Management and Budget to provide the funds to prevent this budget shortfall that would threaten the Darfur peacekeeping effort. Click here to send your letter to President Bush and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget today. With your help, we can work with our government to ensure adequate support for the essential peacekeeping effort in Darfur. Thank you again for your commitment to ending the violence in the region. Best regards, David Rubenstein Save Darfur Coalition
I know its not quite the same, but watched band of brothers series the other week (watched about 3hrs a night for 2 nights) very incredible program, shows when the soldiers find the concentration camps and stuff, must have been really hard for them.. imagine finding that what would ya do? millions of people dying and starving, and millions more lying dead out the corner of your eye sickening
Darfur. Darfur. Darfur........ We must continously keep this word alive and remind the politicians out there that there are people suffering in Darfur. Send them emails, postcards, SMS or whatever to get them to do something for Darfur.
Its amazing what shows up on google earth - the pyramids look rad next to cairo and my favorite the Queen Mary Two in NY (go to missing twin towers and continue up river across on the shoreline of Manhattan and you will see it) and also in Portugal - needless to say these pictures are created over a period of time
