More Kristof on Darfur
I linked to Nicholas Kristof’s columns from Sudan earlier this week. His final column is now up, and it’s a good one.
Read the whole thing. Especially this part:
Ordinary readers can push for all these moves. Before he died, Senator Paul Simon said that if only 100 people in each Congressional district had demanded a stop to the Rwandan genocide, that effort would have generated a determination to stop it. But Americans didn’t write such letters to their members of Congress then, and they’re not writing them now.
Finding the right policy tools to confront genocide is an excruciating challenge, but it’s not the biggest problem. The hardest thing to find is the political will.

It’s best if you send your own message. But if you don’t have time for that, at least head on over to Save Darfur and let them do the work for you.
