  Let's Get Ready to Rumble - John Holmes Attacks Save Darfur

  People like Holmes are the reason that Doctors Without Borders was formed (the founders couldn't stomach the head-in-sand politics of other aid groups).  It amazes me that so many progressives are complete objectivists when it comes to the conventions against torture but are willing to ignore the convention against genocide.  Like it or not, the official position of our government, not Save Darfur, is that Darfur is a genocide.  We now know what that's worth -- a response guaranteed to do nothing more but to let aid workers attend to some of the victims.  No doubt that will have an amazing deterrence effect in the future.
