Note: the subtitle appears on the main Opinion page of The Jerusalem Post but not on the article itself. The addition is not mine but rather from the paper itself.

Personally, I wonder why President Bush doesn't put together a coalition of the willing for Darfur. It's clear he'd have widespread support, unlike in Iraq, and here he couold be fighting the good fight of eliminating genocide. If the Arab world objects they'd be shown for just who they are.

I can understand why John Kerry woudn't want to talk about Darfur. President Bush, OTOH, would probably gain independent voters for doing something so courageous and risky during an election year. Even the left would have a hard to criticizing him for standing up for human rights and putting a stop to genocide. I also wonder how that would play with African-American voters who aren't totally brainwashed by the NAACP and others.

It beats being blindsided by the accusation that he's done nothing about it.

Muslims whether arab or otherwise have been murdering Chrstians by the millions since they started their imperialistic trek from arabia over 1300 years ago.

Our concern for the "Black" non Arab Muslims is well intentioned but where is the outrage when Christians of any racial stripe get massacred by Muslims?
