Aren't Muslims murdering Christians in Darfur? I know Mia Farrow is most likely smarter than I am because she's a Movie Star, but...I'm confused.

[squidly]

This is the protracted, endless war, that I’ve long seen Obama or Hillary getting us into. Talk about a quagmire. No U.S. interest whatsoever. God help us.

[SandRat]

On;y one thisng to say —— “Shut UP and act!”

[ari-freedom]

they aren’t anti-war. Just anti-bush

From what I read recently, and I could be wrong, is that the Arab muslims who run Sudan are killing black muslims in Darfur. IN that sense, yes, it appears to be racially motivated genocide. Previously, the Arab muslims had been slaughtering black Christians and “animists” in the southern part of the country. In addition to racial genocide, it was also religious genocide, the type of genocide one normally associates with muslims. However, the MSM didn’t care about that because the victims were Christian.

[BunkDetector]

You find fault with her statements in what way...?

[camerakid400]

The Arab Muslims were killing black Christians in the 2nd Sudanese war from 1983-2005, now the Islamic militias are killing just about anyone they disagree with. You never hear that in the media or from dopey celebrities.

Human life is a devalued commodity on the continent called Afica. Culling the herd has been a time honored tradition for all of time. They don't even have prisons! What does that tell you? Why shave a few ponts off your GDP which is already close to that of circa 1785 on social support programs or a judicial system with Anglo European roots.

AIDS, starvation, rape, torture, religious violence, kidnapping, death squads, child soldiers, etc.... are all tools of which to be governed by on that big chunk of dirt.

Can't change the nature of those animals.

[SandRat]

It is fine in so far as the sentiment goes.

However, she wants you and I to fund it; not use her $$$$$$ to help ease the plight of hunger, cold, etc. She,.. and she won’t say it,.. wants our troops to do the job and not inconvienance her and her Hollywood friends or rich liberal friends clucking their tounges in fiegned faux supperiority of morals.

She wants another Clinton Somalia program and we know how well that worked out.

mia is still around?

[ridesthemiles]

On;y one thisng to say —— “Shut UP and act!””

She should just SHUT UP.......

She couldn’t even keep her husband from diddling a foster child. WTF does she know about the world?

Dardur is an unholy mess, but I cannot think of one thing Mia Farrow can contribute to the solution.

[henkster]

Hear! Hear! Typical limousine liberal! When she gets off her self-righteous a$$ and goes over there herself to DO something about it, I just might be inclined to follow her. Of course, I’d have to think about it...for a year...maybe two...

[kcvl]

I think I’ll drink more Coke and use UPS more often.

I’m sick of being told what I should do by so-called “stars”.

[Hoodat]

Perhaps she should have proposed this to then President Clinton when this problem first arose.

[NCLaw441]

Surely Mia is not suggesting we intervene in the affairs of a sovereign nation is she? Obama has voiced his opposition to going into Iraq. What does he have to say about Darfur?

[eleni121]

Not a word all those years as Muslims butchered and enslaved over 2 million Southern Sudanese Christians and animists.

And now that muzzies are doing it to their own because they are not “arab” enough...Mia the do gooder pops up.

[navyguy]

The only real solution to the genocode in Darfur is to kill all of the bad guys. There is no ‘political solution’ there because the problem isn’t political. But this would mean military intervention in a sovereign nation, something liberals are against. So liberals are stuck... intervene and save these people, or stay out to avoid ‘endless war’?

Personally, I beleive ONLY Africans can solve this problem. If they don’t then it’s on them.

Farrow splits her time between her spacious SoHo Loft in NYC's Greenwich Village and her estate/farm in Roxbury, Connecticut near the Town of New Milford.

"Shut up and act".

How about just "shut up" - she could not act her way out of a paper bag.

"I first heard of Darfur in 2004, that there was something terrible happening in this remote part of Africa," she said.

I've been reading rereferences to the problems in the Durfur region since the mid-1990s.  It is typical of people like Mia Farrow to only pop up their heads when a republican is in office.  Problems just don't exist when democrats are in office.  Unemployment doesn't matter.  Inflation, eh who cares.  The homeless, eh what homeless?  Tragedy in Darfur, there's a tragedy?  Nope all this happens when republicans come into office because everyone knows, republicans just don't care.

Remember when we put troops in Somalia the last time?  People like Mia demanded it.  A few months after we had done so and the precious leftist in our nation were denegrating our troops and demanding they be withdrawn.

We tried to get food to starving people.  The warlords wanted to horde the food in order to use it for control and increased power.  We tried to use reasoned methods to make sure everyone got a share.  And the left pooped on the effort every step of the way.

Why should anyone think this time will be different?  People of Darfur, I hear the left in the United States is going to donate millions out of their own pockets, buy food and supplies for you and charter flights into your region to help out.

Like that'll every happen.  They have very good plans for spending everyone else's money and telling everyone else what to do.  And when they do it, the left stabs them in the back every time.

Look at the people of Iraq, no longer being slaughtered on a whim by Hussein, his sons and his military goons.  Think the left is happy that was put to an end?

If so, you just don't know the level of actual caring the left in our nation truly has for people in need.
