“…the genocidaires have won…”

Unmentioned in all this Darfur business is, well, the business end of it.

Captive populations-when not put to the sword-are made use of in other ways by traditional Muslim societies. One of the many appalling things about the crisis in southern Sudan is the increase in the numbers of slaves.

I know I am awfully self-indulgent but humor me if you can.

Let us, for the moment at least, agree to one common, basic and universal moral principle in the shifting sands of relativism that so besets our culture.

No matter how you package it, slavery is the purest of evil. To oppose it is a basic requirement among all men. To not do so is to make a pact with the devil himself, a Faustian bargain that, when the debt comes due, you will not like. Get behind me, Satan!

It is our duty, our collective responsibility, to eradicate this blight on our species. As long as the organized trade in human beings is allowed to continue, to prosper, in the name of a corruption of an ancient religious practice, whatever the excuse, all of us, us men, are reduced and dehumanized.

We will be judged by what we do-not by what we say-and unless the scope and scale of the problem is made public and constantly brought before the world, we all are guilty by association. I do not wish to carry that burden on my soul into the world to come-no, thank you, I carry enough already without that added upon the scales of balance.

Funny, at the “anti-war” marches and the “peace” rallies, I saw “save the whales” and “PETA” and “Gay Trotskyites for Working Class Solidarity” but not one sign saying “End Slavery in Our Time”. Maybe the agenda of the Left is OK with slavery because they, in their heart of hearts, want everybody to be enslaved. Maybe they do not wish to be allied to those “Republicans: The New Romans”. I will not hazard a guess.

But for those of us who are the true inheritors of the radical Republicans of yesterday, this is the one issue where these can be no compromise. Our party was established for one reason-to end the abomination that was destroying our nation. If we are ever to stand for anything, slavery and its total annialation must be our common goal. Sorry if such a policy makes our Arab “allies” angry but, frankly, I find it hard to believe that they will hate us any more if we take away their underage catamite concubines. Either way, I would put an end to it, with force, like General Gordon did a century ago. And even if Gordon died at Khartoum, Kitchner redeemed the honor of the non-conformist, gathered churches by crushing the supporters of Sharia. Will history repeat itself? Or will the ancient irreconcilable enemy of all the human race go unimpeded deep into this new century?

It is time to make not a strategic, not a tactical, but a moral choice. Let us remember who we are and where we came from before, lest we forget, all our good works of the past are as nothing, as they are sure to be, if we fail in this enterprise.

In response to this genocide, the history club at my college is sponsoring a fast! What doofuses.

On Thursday, October 6, you have the chance to be part of something larger than yourself.

For more than two years, government-sponsored militias known as the Janjaweed have conducted a calculated campaign of slaughter, rape, starvation, and displacement in Darfur, a region in western Sudan, Africa. 400,000 have died. 2.5 million have been displaced and are currently living in refugee camps without access to adequate food, water, shelter, or healthcare. Journalists call this the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today, and some have called it Rwanda in slow motion.

Why fast?

1. To create public awareness about the situation. Unlike Rwanda’s genocide, the situation in Darfur has received very little media attention. I’ve been appalled at the number of people on Southern’s campus who have no idea what’s going on.

2. To engage individuals in the issue by giving them an opportunity to take meaningful action.

3. To demonstrate worldwide solidarity with those suffering from the genocide.

This is your chance to show your support for the war-battered people of Darfur. Fast with us this Thursday from sunrise to sunset.

[contact information removed]We’ll be having a prayer meeting, handing out solidarity ribbons, and breaking the fast together in the evening.

Sponsored by the SAU History Club.

Blech. Sitting around and singing Kum Ba Yah is not my idea of taking meaningful action or showing support for these people. But then again, only a miracle will save them now.

…The info I’m seeing points to it being mostly “red on red” and I’m having trouble finding it in my heart to give a shit! The rest caught up in this have my sympathies but I don’t see what we can do about it at this time.

Try looking at it this way, Maxxdog: this is pretty much how Afghanistan became a festering radical-Islamist boil on the ass of the world. The Taliban filled the power vacuum left after we and the Soviets departed by eliminating, absorbing or driving out any rival groups. It seems to me that a radicalized Islamic Sudan would be a great base of operations for an al-Qaeda looking for a home after we finally drove out the Taliban, with plenty of recruits who already have practice at rape and slaughter in the name of Allah…and not much of a domestic opposition left, unlike in Afghanistan. There no longer is much of a “Northern Alliance” in Sudan that we could use as indigenous allies and the core of a new, democratic government there, should we have to go in.

Although I’m at a loss to see what we could do about the situation at this point myself. That is, short of dusting off one of our W-83 nuclear gravity bombs (1.2 megatons yield, give or take a kiloton or two), fusing it for airburst about four thousand meters above ground level, and dropping it over Khartoum…

It’s probably just as well that I’m not the President. We probably wouldn’t have many friends left. On the other hand, we’d probably have fewer enemies, too…

Running out of people to kill in Darfur

(hat tip: The Emporer at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler) The genocide in Darfur may at last be coming to an end. Not because of international action. Not because the Muslim Janjaweed militia have suddenly decided to stop the killing. They’re simply
