It is stunning to me how this gets ignored by our media.
I'm stunned that you're stunned.
And, if Kofi is not stunned, then perhaps nobody should be stunned.
At work I manage a guy from Uganda...we discussed the presidential election there last week...it was a very interesting conversation..he said there was a lot of concern and sounds like what he thought might happen is...sad sitaution.
I think the media are every bit as racist as they accuse the Republicans and Bush of being. If they don't investigate a story, how is the average person to know of it (unless it suddenly occurs to us one day, "Hey, I wonder whether there's anything going on in Uganda or Sudan today, I'd better look into that"). Just like Clinton, they found the fighting in the Balkans amongst people who "look like us" more compelling than the millions being slaughtered by terrorists and thugs in Africa.
