I know how about the nearly 1,000,000 being killed in the Sudan and the UN is talking to the mudering sacks of horse manure telling them "You had better let the aid in" Yeah right, what the "Hale" is the UN going to do? sit on their collective rears-ends for 12 years and pass resolution after resolution while people, you know human beings, others that live on the world and have a say so in what happens. (same agruement that is used as justification by some for sticking their nose in the USA's business) Are being killed, murdered and starved. It's probibly to much work for anybody to get off their rear-ends and petition their gov't to do something, it might interfer with the time they are spending piss'n moun'n about President Bush and protesting him. How about the war going on in the Congo? Anybody trying to get their gov't to stop that? Anybody working on pressuring their gov't to do something about that? Hmmm I wonder how many Sudanese will have been killed while people think up a response to show me how mad their are about my post? I wonder if the few minutes, getting a letter or e-mail off to their gov't about putting an end to this killing, will be worth more then responing to me? I bet not, but I'd be happy to be wrong on this one.

Don't you just love how Internet discussions can so easily drift from one topic to another. If I try really, really hard I think maybe I can see the red line between Bush in vest and UN/Sudan. Maybe.
