While it's not on
the front-page, the genocide in Darfur, western Sudan, continues:
400-thousand people are dead, two-million have been violently
displaced, and two-thousand villages have been destroyed. Rapes
and other physical attacks still occur regularly--and large-scale food
shortages may be just around the corner. But, there is something
you can do to make sure the U-S government takes action to end this
nightmare. Retired Canadian General Roméo Dallaire--who tried, in
vain, to warn the world of the start of the 19-94 genocide in
Rwanda--has estimated that 44-thousand peacekeepers, with a mandate to
protect innocent civilians, could stop the cycle of violence in Darfur.
Over one-thousand people have made the pledge to call or e-mail the
White House every weekday--until President Bush ensures the deployment
of those 44-thousand peacekeeping troops in Darfur. Give a voice
to your conscience today. Visit

That's "d-a-r-f-u-r-pledge"-dot-o-r-g. A message from "The
ETHIC".
