I was afraid this is what I thought it was. I heard Dennis Prager today talk about this unbelievable action. Course, as we all know Kofi Anan said there was no genicide occurring in the Sudan. Right? This sounds like something out of a movie from the 50's or 60's on Africa. Just unreal. Unfortunately, as Malloch Brown of the UN said to Wallace on FNS, this is all due to 'underfunding' to the UN by guess who?

I used to think that the US govt was the most wastefull and corrupt organization ever ... then, I discovered that the UN and it's 'cling-ons' had put anything done here to shame. Yes, the prevention of this is fairly simple but is being stimied by the kleptocrats of the UN. What I cannot fathom is how 'people' can actually do some of these things! And then there are the other who stand by and watch but report back to us that things are 'ok'. Argh!

Nope. Didn't get past the first two sentences.

Oh, wait. You wanted to hear from people who DID get through. Well, that would not be me.

For people who think that what you and I will be doing for the eight days that begin Sunday, this is the Passion today. I will go back to read the whole thing now, because I believe that it is important to be a witness, not to avert one's eyes but to be willing to look at the ugliness of evil and ponder and pray and be willing to be moved.

Thank you.

As horrible as it is, everyone should be required to read this. Maybe then we would do something about it.

Good! SOMEBODY has to make up for my general loutishness -- and if it's somebody I know, so much the better

GW: I concur, people live in their own comfortable world in a sort of domestic monarchy. If they only had a grander view ...

Pat: I can only try to do my part.

Jody: Yeah, me too. I was completely confused when reading it at first thinking 'who behaves like this anymore'!
