    A More Perfect Union, A More Perfect World

    Yesterday represented a chance for a new beginning. As I watched President Barack Obama deliver his Inaugural Address I  felt myself becoming overwhelmed with emotion. Optimism was alive and well in Washington, DC and throughout the nation, and it was contagious. I too became swept up in the moment, the hope, the realization that we were witnessing something incredible. No, President Obama can not change all of the world's ills, but I believe he has inspired a movement of people wanting to help. I see Darfur as a real chance for President Obama to sew the seeds of change regarding American diplomacy abroad, and in making a committment to Darfur a priority. Stopping the genocide in Darfur has to be as important to this administration as ending the wars Iraq and Afghanistan. When people are dying for no reason other than ignorance and hate it is time to step up to the plate and stop paying lip service to the problem and find and implement real solutions. It is time. The world is watching for us to make good on our promise of never again.
