Genocide as defined by wikipedia.com is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.
In 1948 the
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) — which defined the crime of genocide under international law.
It was defined then sixty years ago that Genocide is an
International crime. And yet here we are in the year 2008 and these crimes continue to be allowed. George Bush declared in 2004 that Genocide has been commited in the Darfur region of Sudan and what has been done about it? Other then the disgusting low coverage recently what has our media shown us? Martha Stewart recieved more news coverage the year she was tried and found guilty then Darfur.
Our country and our media continue to lie to us. They continue to hide the
true fact about world from us. People Magazine recently put out an issue on new's stands full of pictures of "famous" people's babies. But what about the babies in Darfur who are starving to death? Their father's slaughtered and mothers raped in front of their eyes? When are we as an american people going to stand up with our consititional right of free speech and give voice to those who have none?
Its time we took a stand and in order to see some change in our country and others is to elect a new form of leadership. A leader who has stood up and said these crimes should not continue. That leader is Barack Obama. Please dont take me for my word. See for yourself.
