Christmas in Darfur

Christmas in Darfur update:

We're wheels up in just over 19 hours. I have secured data access (but the cost of data transfer is heinous). We should, in theory, have updates posted at the blog, so keep an eye out for those.

Happy Holidays, and see you all on the flipside.

And a big, big thanks to those who chipped in. With your support, we're going in with protective gear, clean water, medical kit, insurance and comms, so, thank you very much.

1 Unless you're packing heat and have an army with you, I don't know what the hell good you think you're going to do.

3 "Speaking for the Choir":
I find it amusing how you discourage people for doing what they think is right -- are they going to do any more harm? you'll sit by and watch the mass graves get filled passively via CNN, and critique people that only want to do some good. You should be ashamed.

4 DaveC you little weak-wristed femme, I am all for confronting the problems in Darfur, but unfortunately for you and your man-friend Romeo, toodling around Darfur with a camera and a hard-on does not do jack. As for me, I will soon be sending in my quarterly tax payment to fund some Daisy Cutters and C-130 gunships... those are the tools to start to solve the problems in Darfur... so I am doing more than your death voyeurism will ever accomplish.

5 Speaking for the Choir - you have clearly missed the point, you MSM-loving dweeb. Why don't you read before you speak? Or are you in FAVOR of just blowing up the millions of victims together with the perpetrators? Sounds like your frustration has led you to endorse the ongoing SILENCING of the truth. Sounds like you don't quite understand what it is to GIVE VOICE to others. You must be too busy giving head.

Yeah, flame me. Go on - and to our travelling documentarians, Hoo-wah!

6 Choir,
 
More to the point, are you doing anything about that - like looking at what means ,ight be used to generate sufficient political pressure to enable the use of force?  As far as I can tell, the extent of your engagement semms to be limited to carping from the sidelines.  If you were to do something productive that might further your solution, I would be quite happy to learn more, but as I see it, you're pretty much content to be a chickendork.

7 Just like Christmas, a lot of the joy of love is found in the giving.
