Darfur Unites The Presidential Candidates
The Save Darfur Coalition has united Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain behind its cause. The three candidates have signed onto a pledge stating their resolve to end the Darfur genocide and bring peace and security to Sudan.
“As we campaign for President of the United States over the next several months, we expect there to be significant focus on the many differences between us,” reads the statement, which is also featured today in a New York Times advertisement. “It is with this awareness that we are taking the uncommon step of issuing a joint statement about an issue. After more than five years of genocide, the Sudanese government and its proxies continue to commit atrocities against civilians in Darfur. This is unacceptable to the American people and to the world community.”
It is with pleasure that I read in today's Times of the joint declaration on settling the Darfur Genocide and ending the bloodshed in that benighted land.
It is time for us to act. It is past time for Peace to break out in Darfur.
May God Bless the inhabitants of Darfur as well as the 3 Presidential candidates who spoke out.
Maybe Bush will do something in the last months of his Administration that will work better than Iraq.
