this is unfair to SS, since lots of mainstream people were fooled by Bush's lies. But people like SS, who know nothing about the world, shouldn't get involved in foreign policy issues. I think he got involved with Darfur & China only because he was subject to a lot of pressure. (I don't know why, but pro-Israel pressure groups focus on Darfur. Perhaps it's because Sudan is Islamic. My impression is that there are lots of places where equally bad crimes are being committed, including cutting off electricity as a way to impose collective punishment on Gaza.) -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
