The time is now, the place is here

For all its many faults, one thing the Bush administration did right is to declare the catastrophe in Sudan a genocide. This was the first time in history that the U.S. government has done so while the killings are still going on. "Darfur Now: An Indifferent World" is a documentary highlighting the efforts of six people to change the situation , including a Darfurian woman who has joined the rebel forces, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and "Hotel Rwanda" actor Don Cheadle. The film had its New York City premiere on 20 September at the United Nations' Dag Hammarskjoeld auditorium. The movie has a limited release on 02 November 2007.

To read more about genocide, pick up a copy of "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide" by Samantha Power or Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire's "Shake Hands With The Devil: The Failure Of Humanity In Rwanda" . The latter has also been adapted into a movie scheduled to open in the U.S. on 28 September. A documentary version was released in 2004. If you're horrified enough by man's inhumanity, find a local Save Darfur group and take action.
