Is there anyone besides angry with the constant double standards of America's politics? Because of our ongoing like affair with Israel, it took solely four weeks of open fighting between Israel and Lebanon for Britain's Tony Blair and America's George Bush to suited strategize and to invoke major constraining force on the United Nations to intervene and call for a cease-fire and state in place peacekeepers to maintain lives from continuing to be thrown away

Today, President Bush announced $230 million in aid for Lebanon and said that international force is forcibly needed. I understand and eulogize their concern and efforts.

My riddle is that rape, murder and destruction have been going onward daily for four years in Darfur, and we continue to make weightless, politically correct statements still take no real action to stop it and save lives. for what cause [i]or[/i] reason are we so subjective in our desire to save lives and in determining what lives are worth saving?

Sen Barack Obama is forward a 17-day trip to bring emphasis to the plight of Africa. I reliance it works, but it pretends as though Rwanda, Congo, Uganda and Sudan exhibit to us quite clearly that African life is neither a priority or value to America. Perhaps Kanye West is right: "George Bush does not care about black people"
