Time for Action
It is possible that the Bush administration is doing something I agree with? I doubt it, but recently the administration has finally started to talk about the genocide in Darfur. Of course this is years too late and millions of people have been tortured and killed (while we used our resources to find WMD in Iraq). The situation in Durfar is beyond desperate and any government that has to capacity to try to help also has a moral obligation to help. Anything less than trying should be equivalent to any other human rights crime. To put it simply, if somebody saw a single family being torn apart, the women raped, the men killed, and the children forced to fight, would it be ok to just look away. What if it was your family? What if it was millions of families? This problem, this genocide, may be extremely hard to stop or even slow down. Is may be impossible, but I doubt it. However, that doesn’t matter; the United States (and any other government with the means) should feel morally compelled to try to help. We must try.
The next section is for the Chinese government (who are regular readers of this blog).
China is still not recognized as a superpower by the world, and that is a sign of disrespect by the western countries. Europe and the US think they are so great and mighty, but they are hypocrites that accuse China of human rights violations, while they oppress their own minority populations, and ignore genocides in Africa. They only care about money and oil and they still look down on China. However, China must be proud; proud and smart. Where the west has ignored a problem, you can seize an opportunity. Go into Darfur and stop the genocide; go into Africa and save millions of people. Stand up to the world and say that China is a country of the people. Stand up and proclaim your greatness. And in doing so you rightfully shame the west’s inactions. Furthermore, this will be another part of China’s long-term plan to revitalize Africa’s social and economic structure in the years to come. There are millions of consumers already in Africa and millions more as Africa develops. There is oil and natural resources in Africa. As China’s economy continues to grow, it can feed on Africa’s population and in return China can bring some peace and stability to the region. Consider this a wise moral and financial investment (and don’t worry about the cost, the United States is really paying for it all as their debt to China grows everyday). The US pays, but China can get the glory, the pride, and proudly proclaim that it is not only a superpower, but the only superpower.
