Not only does the so-called "Save Darfur" campaign divert attention
from the destruction being caused by the US government in Palestine,
Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Congo, Somalia, Haiti etc. - the
campaign also diverts attention from what the US government has been
and is doing in Sudan.
I view the advertisement for this CD on this list the same way I
would view the advertisement for a CD about Iraq if it were sponsored
by a group whose position is that the problem in Iraq is that the
Iraqis are killing each other so we should send more troops to force
them to become civilized.
