GREAT commentary on Darfur

Translated from Portuguese:

"Admitting to genocide compels us

to do something about it..."

I came across this GREAT op-ed from Nick Kristof of the NYT. He writes some great commentary and he has that off-the-wall-tongue-in-cheek reporting that I personally enjoy (He did a wonderful special report on North Korea last week). Check it out:

All Ears for Tom Cruise, All Eyes on Brad Pitt (NYT 07262005) By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF

There is a really cool slidesow on his trip to Darfur as well. If you get a chance, surf around his page in NYT and check out his trip to North Korea. Very cool.

It really does suck. Darfur is very "out of sight, out of mind" with the mainstream-media. I guess in a way its to relieve our consciences from doing anything. Ignorance is bliss. Anyhow, I give props to Kristof who uses his platform and resources to make the issue known to readers. Yeah, he's only one man with maybe a small voice, but at least he's living up to his journalistic integrity.

Darfur, BABY!
