Weapon of mass dissent.

You can read Paul Rusesabagina's editorial here. He argues that more than merely thanking him for his deeds at the Hotel Rwanda, we must recognize today's cruelties in Sudan and act on them with haste.

If you haven't seen the movie, do. One theme is that the mere sight of their world--where children and civilians are mercilessly slaughtered--will shame us all to action.

You can read more about the Hutu-Tutsi conflict--which is far from a good-guy/bad-guy scenario, here:

If you are interested, tell me, and I'll do a write-up on the situation in Sudan.

Peace,
