Hollywood is not all bad.

Mia Farrow is continually writing op-eds in the Wall Street Journal about conditions in Darfur ... You can read one such recent article at http://www.miafarrow.org/editorials.html

They have it half right in Darfur at best.

They have identified a problem.

But are they willing to support solutions including a real anti-China attitude.

Since China has veto power in the UN, its obvious that real military action to clean up Darfur is impossible.

If I had the money like Hollywood, I would hire mercenaries to go in and start raising hell with the bad guys.

It looks like Chad is doing this right now with its rebels and Sudan responds by backing Chad rebels.

UN, schmoo N.

Humanism is powerless in the face of evil.

Hollywood only gets vocal about something when it falls into their extremely narrow vision on humanitarian issues.
Tibet, Sudan. Thats about it. And it only happens when its what appears as whites opressing minorities or some estabished government vs. hippie pacifist types.
They believe the only time the US military should get involved is when its humanitarian missions and simply to act as peace keepers. No firing of weapons allowed. They always expect that acting like some hippie between two armed forces spouting, “Hey man, won’t you like just give peace a chance?” will fix it.
They will get dead silent on issues like Zimbabwe, Rwanda, treatment of minority religions and women in islamic countries, simply because they know the only solution to the problem is use of force which they no intestinal fortitude to handle.
