Darfur: Where's the outrage?

In the region of the Sudan known as Darfur, militias made up of Arab tribes called janjaweed are massacring African tribes with Sudanese government support. A genocide is in full swing and has been for a while.

George W. Bush, when refering to the genocide in Rwanda, once said "Not on my watch." So where exactly is he looking? Fighting a war based on fake WMDs in Iraq, where the genocidal Hussein is out of power, and an insurgency of our causing threatens to throw the country into a well-predicted civil war. When it comes to picking battles, Iraq was a blind idiot's choice. If ever there were to be a righteous war in this generation, Darfur would be the place.

But no one else is looking at Darfur either, where 200,000 people have been murdered. Why is the world letting this happen? The holocaust wasn't enough? Rwanda wasn't enough? Or is it because this is Africa we're talking about? No big oil industry, no advanced economies, where the only thing produced in abundance is AIDS. Could it be the ultimate racism?

It's disgusting that no one is stepping in on Darfur. The U.S., which is supposed to be the world's champion for stepping in, is instead picking fights and instigating chaos in regions that had been relatively stable. Bush's insistence that the U.S. will stay in Iraq is tantamount to an idiot bashing his head against a cement wall. Meanwhile, people continue to die under the knife of an unchecked terrorist menace with government ties, of which the entire world has washed its hands.

There's a supposed to be a war on terror. Ironic that the U.S. is the one causing the terror, while real terrorists get a free pass.
