If not now, when?

It doesn't matter a whit if you are red, blue, or lime green: surely all can agree that the genocide in Darfur is an abomination. Unfortunately the U.N., NATO, and individual governments do not act on moral outrage alone; they need political capital. Here is your chance, as a decent human being, to provide that capital. Sign the postcard. Join one of the rallies in major cities throughout the U.S. this Saturday, April 29th Sunday, April 30th.

As the saying goes, all it takes for evil to win is for a good man to do nothing.

Sadly, when the people are black and there are no resources for the West to exploit, governments do not care and individuals are slow to rally. I recommend to all General Romeo Dallaire's book,
Shaking Hands with the Devil, which is his account of his Rwanda experience of the genocide. Sadly. Darfur is just another Rwanda.
