If you have not seen this movie yet then I must insist that you rent the movie as it comes out on Tue for rent/purchase.....
When watching it put yourself in the same situation with your family, no matter what your age, and ask yourself what you would do, and as an American ask yourself whether you can morally sit on your hands and do nothing while this continues to occur today in Darfur. In his presidential address in 2005 Pres Bush stated:
“America's influence is not unlimited, but fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in freedom's cause…All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors."
- George W. Bush, Inaugural Address, January 20, 2005
Estimated death toll in Sudan is now 300,000....many of which are women and children who were raped, then tortured and then brutally murdered with machetes, clubs, rocks etc...........I think the least we can all do is write our congressional leaders and state are opposition to how they are handling the conflict....
In case anyone was wondering how the US and other nations are handling the conflict I can sum it up for you....We told them we would put sanctions on Sudan :wow: ....thats it :ranting:
Harvard University recently sold 4.4million dollars worth of stock after student activists from the university brought forth a petitions signed by thousands of students asking them to end business relations with a company who supports the Sudanese Government....For those who don't know, the Janjaweed militia is being supported by the Sudanese government and they are providing them with weapons, uniforms etc to continue on the genocide.....Of course the sudan government says the world is "misinformed" :cussing: :censored:
