While Americans have heard of Darfur and think we should be doing more there, they aren't actually angry at the president about inaction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The news media's silence, particularly television news, is reprehensible. If we knew as much about Darfur as we do about Michael Jackson, we might be able to stop these things from continuing.
We all might ask ourselves why we tune in to these more trivial matters and tune out when it comes to Darfur.
In all, dozens upon dozens of groups and organizations have prioritized stopping the killing in Darfur before there is no one left to be killed. It is high time that we, the U.S. Congress, join our name to that list.
Despite the increase in world attention toward Sudan in the past months, the genocide in Darfur has continued without any serious attempt by the Sudanese government to do what governments primarily exist to do, protect their citizens.
Americans are slow to anger, but once they do get angry, they are impossible to stop.
Violence in Darfur is cataclysmic.
The conflict in Darfur could escalate to where we're seeing 100,000 victims per month.
Everybody in America is angry about something.
If the president of the United States says that attacks on civilians, starvation, and denial of religious freedom in Sudan are important international issues, they become so.
Is the patience of the American people that long suffering? Is there no outrage left in the country?
