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!”

[henkster]

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.

[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.

[cubreporter]

mia is still around?

[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?

[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.

"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.

Diana, those remarks were not meant to be personal. I generally take the to name out when doing this, and I forgot this time.

[Steamburg]

Not to worry, most teachers couldn’t find half the major cities in the US on a map let alone Darfur. Its kind of like white noise until the dems need a diversion.

[brushcop]

Hey Mia, there was genocide with Hussein’s regime, oh but that is Bush’s war, that’s right, I forgot—and 9/11 never really happened. But we took care of that pretty good. Well then, how about Boy Clinton’s Kosovo and Somalia campaigns? Brave US Soldiers prosecuted those wars to the best of their ability only to have your boy president betray them. Yeah, I particularly like the “home by Christmas” mantra over Kosovo, uh huh, how long has that been now? Yeah, they’re still there.

Let’s see Mia, what should we do about Iran?? Grace us with your vast knowledge. How about the Muslim scourge in the Philippines, Indonesia and all around the world? Do you still run around with your bumper sticker “FREE TIBET!”? I think they’re under Communist rule, isn’t that like what Cuba is under? Don’t you like Fidel?? I work for a man that says, “What can a tiny island like Cuba do anyway?”. I guess like you, he forgot about all the Cuban soldiers throughout Central America (FOR DECADES) and elsewhere killing folks, supplied by Russia, er, the Soviet Union, er CCCP or whatever, oh well...

What’s your point about Chinese arms and materiel? Hell, have you looked on the things you buy lately? What’s the problem, isn’t China under the same form of government that Cuba is?? And Tibet?? I just need help in all of this and I know that you can set us all straight in world affairs.

By the way, have you served your country yet? Just asking. Our Armed Forces accept women you know...

The anti-war left wants to start WW3 with China over Africa and central Asia (Burma). I think they have no idea of the strategic implications of these regions but they see people suffering and imagine we can send a few “peace keeping troops” and make the world a happy place.

They have no clue what bringing our military into a Chinese psuedo-colony would do to instigate a new war unlike any of the tiny skirmishes going on today...

[Gay State Conservative]

Could somebody enlighten me on what I think is a very important matter? A few years back (maybe 10 years ago) I read that (black) Christians in southern Sudan were being tortured and murdered by the thousands by the (muslim) leaders of the country.I don't recall hearing a single denizen of Hollyweird protesting this slaughter and yet every Western leftist is weeping over what's happening in Darfur today.

Does anyone recall if there was anything resembling a serious outcry,particularly in Hollyweird,over this slaughter of Sudanese Christians?
