| Sudanese Arabs Friday slammed a U.S. congressional resolution describing atrocities in Darfur as "genocide," while people driven from their homes asked how Washington could make it safe for them to return. "Is Iraq not enough? Do they want to destroy us too? ... America wants everyone who is Arab to pay. Warmer. You're getting warmer. It's not Iraq, stupid. IT'S THE TERRORISM AND GENOCIDE. That sh!t's gotta stop or we will come and kill you. They do not understand anything," said 34-year-old driver Ismail Gasmalseed in Khartoum. Yeah, our higher education just cripples us. The U.S. Congress approved the resolution Thursday and its supporters hope it will help mobilize the international community to protect Africans in Darfur from Arab militias. But the Bush administration resisted calls Friday to declare Arab militia attacks on African villagers in Sudan genocide, a controversial label that would pressure the United States to do more to stop the violence. An equally unacceptable stance.
Par for the course with these maggots. | |

| #9 Remeber folks the UN has to adhere to the laws of cultural relativism. This means that it isn't genocide if the perps don't believe that the victims are fully human. However, since *our* culture is universally evil, the UN must pursue a policy of whining. |

| #8 Point made, Aris. Ever since the communist regime fell, whenever people have bemoaned how Russian organized crime is so rampant, what I tell them is, "Nothing really changed, all they did was take their uniforms off." |

| #7 Told ya all so. But some people are too obsessed with the whole communist/capitalist thing to see the more important freedom/tyranny thing. Freedomhouse has been showing the backsliding Russian stats for freedom, but few people here seemed to give a damn. As if "enemy of freedom" wouldn't inevitably end up meaning "supporter of tyrannies". Or as if KGB became innocent now that that it has changed its name. The Soviet anti-freedom block was greatly reduced but its core wasn't destroyed -- and it's a natural ally of other enemies of the West. |

| #6 #2 I've long since seen enough from Putin, the dudes an evil bastard and his government is one of the bigger problems we face on the world stage today. RJB, much more of this crap outta Russia and I'll have to agree with you. It's like we are slowly backsliding into the Cold War again, only with totalitarian regimes parading around as free market economies instead of naked Communist aggressors. |

| #4 There is a very simple solution to this problem. Give the Africans guns and ammunition. Tell them to kill every Arab they see. Then, when the Arabs complain that they are being killed, we can just shrug and say "Killed? Oh, we try not to get involved in Moslem disputes." |
