ugh.
It's vile
Wonder why he wasn't concerned about rape when ole Clinton was in office?
And stopping Saddham's rape rooms was a bad thing????
I'm not registering on that porn site, just to read the article; what does he say about W?
Perhaps. But it was an important column, and the Bush comment didn't diminish its importance. The thing I wish he had mentioned is that the UN has been either useless or just as criminal in re: Sudan.
Yes, because a Republican did it. Remember, Republicans are the ones who are supposed to be running the rape rooms.
Absolutely.
Why are we still reading the NY Times????
"He just has to ruin a good column with a bash at Bush."
Hey Kristof, maybe if Amnesty Int'l and the press weren't preoccupied with handling the Koran with white gloves, this would get more attention.
"He just has to ruin a good column with a bash at Bush."
Every single time he does it. And he's really doing good stories (well, they are bad stories of course, but he's doing a good job telling them) about the really disenfranchised people of the earth, esp. the women.
But he's got a huge blind spot, he doesnt' realize that it's his own liberal ilk who are consigning these people to the ash heap.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
What do you read?
Really...one of the networks did this story(same victims) mooonths ago.
"What do you read?"
More and more, I look at the news feeds, read military blogs about the war (start with http://www.mudvillegazette.com/ they have a morning brief), then go to http://www.command-post.org/ (their news is usually 1 day old).
I also try to check out Instapundit and Michelle Malkin once a day as well.
Thanks for the links. I still find it useful to read the Times. Kristof is writing firsthand from the Sudan.
"Their courage should be an inspiration to us - and above all, to President Bush - to speak out. Mr. Bush finally let the word Darfur pass his lips on Wednesday, after 142 days of silence, but only during a photo op. Such silence amounts to acquiescence, for this policy of rape flourishes only because it is ignored."
Use bugmenot.com . I've used it before, and it seems to need only one try with bugmenot.com for continued admission to a website.
I wonder why the article doesn't mention that the oppressors in Sudan are Mooslim Arabs?
"But here in the refugee shantytowns of Darfur, the horrific stories that young women whisper are not of random criminality but of a systematic campaign of rape to terrorize civilians and drive them from "Arab lands" - a policy of rape."
First paragraph, second sentence. What percentage of Arabs in Sudan are not Muslims?
The raghead muslim militia is raping the Black Christians and not a word about religion. At least they said Arab.
