Of course it is the Vatican which is holding the funeral and you can't blame people for attending it.<BR/><BR/>Nonetheless to really memorialize the man or the pontiff, I think we would do better to get serious about helping those who are worst off in the world.

I believe the problem in the Sudan and Darfur is not really international indifference, but the West's fear of antagonizing a Muslim Arab population. A lot of the victimized are black Christians.<BR/><BR/>There you have it. For all our grand rhetoric, the West has been cowardly about Africa and it is cowardly about situations like Darfur. We fear the cultural repercussions.MaxedOutMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011469804162511617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-1112808438296730592005-04-06T13:27:00.000-04:002005-04-06T13:27:00.000-04:00Exccellent read- and heartbreaking.Still, while we...Exccellent read- and heartbreaking.<BR/><BR/>Still, while we are remiss- and must step in and DO something, surely, we must also call to account the Muslim community. More than anything, it is that silence and those blind eyes that have allowed this tragedy to go on for so long.SC&Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896449261475558935noreply@blogger.com
