In Spring 2006, I had the opportunity to hear the photographer, former US Marine Captain Brian Steidle, speak about his experiences in Darfur at Florida Atlantic University's Jupiter campus. His demonstration of passion and concern for the people of Darfur during his talk was one of the many inspirations for my wanting to become an officer in the military. I sincerely wish I could have seen this documentary, which premiered this weekend at the Sundance Festival and continues until the end of this week. Please continue to pray for and help in any way possible the people of Darfur.

You obviously didn't see the movie- it's not like that at all. He was interviewing the Muslims there who were getting slaughtered... and it's clear his only agenda is to raise awareness and try to get the slaughter of innocents- no matter their religion, stopped.

I wonder would America become involved if there was a sea of oil under Darfur?

[TOBORtheMighty]

@countsmyth I guess you missed the part where China supports the Sudanese govt. because it controls a major oil pipeline. We could go save them and take control, saying, "you weren't helping so it's ours now." But we wont. The Bushes don't have a grudge against Sudan and we don't want to piss off China.

@12daysofstand

Your telling me what I did and where I was! I was teaching english in Kurdistan when the USA invaded!

[12daysofstand]

@countsmyth Have you been to Iraq? No.

Your arguments are like the sounds of a high school government class.

[12daysofstand]

@countsmyth which is totally why the US has little presence in South Sudan which actually has a 'sea of oil' underneath it?

Enough with the cliche arguments. Its the go to accusation for anything the US does wrong when there are a dozen different explanations behind every action of American foreign policy. The US has been the only one to send an envoy especially located to Darfur. The US gov't has sanctioned Sudan and haspassed legislation calling for US companies to divest. Educated yourself.

@Lone1module

I disagree, how did the life of the Iraqi people change with America going there? Darfur would be exploited nothing less!

[Lone1module]

@countsmyth I only hope they have oil.

[Lone1module]

@countsmyth Of course. I wonder how many other great things would come if Darfur had oil. Maybe along with the troops, education would come to the children. Starvation would start to diminish as the American people realized the intensity of the situation (due to media coverage) and sent aid en masse to charities. Life would substantially increase for citizens of Darfur, work would be widely available, even if they were working for greedy corporations they would still have money to live.

@countsmyth yeah so what whats wrong with protecting your own interest

@brian8793 Sorry for being 7 months late. But if you want to go that far, calling myself black wouldn't even seem to fit because I'm brown. And yes I am aware there are all kinds of races and ethnics in Africa. We don't even have a real name for our race. And I'm female.

@countsmyth There IS sea of oil under Darfur. China began controlling it eventually.
