Stop the Genocide in Darfur, Sudan
Target: George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: American Jewish World Service
After the Holocaust, the world vowed "never again." That vow was repeated after the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. The innocent victims of state-sponsored murder in Sudan cannot wait any longer for the world to make good on those promises.
For over three years, people in Darfur, Sudan, have endured murder, torture, rape, destruction of villages and forced displacement from their homes. 400,000 people are already dead. We are bearing witness to the first genocide of the 21st century. And we are bound by our own humanity and history to do everything we can to stop it.
In this remote region the size of Texas in Africas largest nation, over two million people have been violently driven from their homes by a government-backed militia known as Janjaweed.
In September 2004, President Bush labeled the crisis in Darfur genocide, but the administration has done little to stop the killings.
Make your voice heard. Urge President Bush to support a stronger multinational force to protect the people of Darfur. It is our right and our responsibility as global citizens to bring our passion and determination to President Bush's door in order to stop the first genocide of the 21st century.

I don't think the world will ever forget if you allow another genocide like Rwanda to happen again.

You said you would never let something like Rowanda happen on your watch, and yet here you are allowing a genocide occur on your watch. I guess Sudan doesn't have enough oil for you to make money after your presidency. Too bad your friends the Bin Laden family don't have interest in Darfur. Maybe you'd actually do something about it.

Mr Bush,you have inherited the heavy responsibility of promoting PEACE as a counterbalancing act to prior generations'perpetrating mass murders at different occasions in our world's History.Your path to glory is to put an end to all wars and mass abuses, frontier to frontier, other than by the use of weaponry but rather through acts of great generosity that is the very quality of this country,as States United we may then STAND ALTOGETHER IN A BETTER WORLD...humbled and dignified in venturing away from HATE and PRIMITIVE BARBARISM.
