Comments on: Darfur genocide – US needs to ACT! http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2007/12/15/darfur-genocide-us-needs-to-act/ The voice of Clarksville, Tennessee Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:42:47 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Scott Beasley http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2007/12/15/darfur-genocide-us-needs-to-act/comment-page-1/#comment-5314 Scott Beasley Tue, 18 Dec 2007 01:23:45 +0000 http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2007/12/15/darfur-genocide-us-needs-to-act/#comment-5314 I saw the documentary as well and the international community was reluctant to call it "genocide" for some reason. Our government took the lead and President Bush declared it genocide but has yet to actually DO anything about it. It would be extremely difficult to do anything other than using international pressure through the UN, but for some reason unknown to me, feet are being dragged. I actually had a financial advisor suggest Fidelity and I did not choose to invest in them, but I had no idea of their links to companies in Darfur. I would specualte that they aren't the only ones out there though. it is time to actually DO something rather than passing meaningless resolutions or sanctions. The International community needs to use some TEETH to stop this UNBELIEVABLE horror which is still happening.
