Save Darfur!
Thursday, December 14th, 2006When I first started my blog over two years ago one of the first posts that I wrote was on Darfur. I remember then I would only hear about this tragedy on the BBC radio. U.S. free press covered nothing about it. Some of you to this day may still know nothing about what is going on in Darfur. I saw this commercial today so I wanted to post about this site that is dedicated to raise awareness about the problem. The total U.S. aid to Darfur has only been about the equivalent to one day’s worth of spending in Iraq. We have been in Iraq over 1,300 days.

Now cue the smoke machines and the simulated rain
But not too loud ’cause the baby’s sleepin
I wonder if it knows what the world is keepin
Up both sleeves while he lay there dreamin
Me and my robot tip-toe ’round creepin
I had to turn my back on what got you paid
I couldn’t see half the hood on me like Abu Ghraib
But I’d like to thank the streets that drove me crazy
And all the televisions out there that raised me
Peace in Darfur!
