I agree with the Sunday letter that the atrocities being committed in Darfur are unconscionable. However, I believe that the postcard campaign of “Million Voices for Darfur” should be aimed at the United Nations – not President Bush.
It is the duty of the United Nations (impotent entity that it is) to stop this type of genocide. The United Nations has multinational forces at its disposal and gets funding from member nations. With all of these resources already in place, the public campaign should be to insist the United Nations fulfill that mandate.
The same type of atrocities occurred several years ago between the Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda and probably among other people that were not so well publicized. It’s wrong for this to happen to people, but the U.S. can’t be everything to everyone in the world.
It’s the UN’s duty to address it and the public should demand it. Send your postcards to them, not Bush.
