New York Times Op-Ed Columnist Nicholas Kristof blames an international lack of "political will" for the failure to resolve the ongoing conflict in Darfur, Sudan.

What is the most effective way to influence the exercise of political power? Can genocide be halted? What are the natural limits of political power?

Join three preeminent policy and opinion makers as they discuss the violation and defense of human rights by national and international powers.

Featuring Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor; Nicholas D. Kristof, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The New York Times; and Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Thomas Weiss, Presidential Professor of Political Science at The Graduate Center moderates - City University New York

He has been a Times correspondent since 1984, becoming an associate managing editor and the first blogger on the New York Times Web site. Kristof has lived on four continents, reported on six, and traveled to 120 countries, all 50 states, every Chinese province, and every main Japanese island.

Today December 5, 2009, Netherland decided to give rebels group in Darfur

a radio station broadcasting from Amsterdam, Netherland one of the countries that promotes the funny shit called genocides  in Darfur

[ab7ath3anaml]

[LeGioNoFZioN]

far from it, the arabic majority is at odds with the black minority, both groups are muslim, I see no point to your argument

[ab7ath3anaml]

and Sudan too, why not? , aha , yes muslims and speak Arabic, i forgot that, i got ur point

[LeGioNoFZioN]

to a point yes. enough to have open trade and an economic relationship with for sure. If we can have close relations with China, Columbia, El Salvador, Cuba and Honduras why not ?

[ab7ath3anaml]

aha, so u share ur values with Russian, good!!!

[LeGioNoFZioN]

Russia cares about Canada, its been dumping American dollars, and buying up Canadian ones. America needs Canada, we are its second largest oil source after Mexico. Our PM took the time out of the conferance in Trinidad and Tobago to let Uganda's president know that their newest law banning homosexuality and prosecuting them with the death penalty would find them strong rebuke from Canada. That is the Canadian way.

[ab7ath3anaml]

who cares about Canada? hhhhhhhhh, u gonna cut ur relation with million countries around this world, cuz not all damn universe share ur so called value
