The new movie Attack on Darfur really helps portray the seriousness of genocide.

China supports all these regime who grossly violates basic human rights in countries like sudan, burma etc. because they themselves are violating human rights to their people in tibet and xinjaing giving them death sentences of riots. First of all these people hate china and on that they imposing strict rules to kill people by giving death sentence. And the animal skin and their bones of tiger , leopard goes china which in turn causing extinction of tigers and leopards around the world.

There is no reason republicans would like us to go in to help Darfur or Burma. China holds the oil supplies in Sudan so we can't get any of it. So why would we spend money to help. Burma is already selling natural resources to us, and other stuff. So we don't care what they do for them to give us those things. If i had it my way i'd would have invaded Burma and Sudan-Darfur border. Instead of Iraq. There is to much sacrifice for oil that its not worth it. We need to switch to something else.

Something needs to do done but in saying that, everyone knows what needs to happen but no one is willing? When do you say STOP.

What a sick, pathetic situation for the free world to do so little for what has been called "the world's largest humanitarian crisis."
