UPDATE: July 30th, 2008 -- Karadzic, the Serbian leader accused of organizing crimes against humanity and genocide most notably against the 8,000 men and boys who lives were exterminated in the Balkans. -- This is the proof that justice can prevail, giving hope and ending impunity.

Radovan Karadzic personified impunity for more than a
decade, but his efforts to run the clock on justice have failed.
This arrest offers hope to the victims of the horrific crimes
that occurred there.

Darfur. Help is in our hands, not anyone elses.

I just watched the clip from Hotel Rwanda where Don Cheadle (playing Paul Rusesabagina) says, "you must shame them into sending help."

"Reach through the phone and make it sound as though you are holding their hand, and if they let go of your hand... you will die."

His words were powerful regardless if the movie was based on a true story or not, but becuase it is based on a true story, one that is happening again in another part of the world, we must act. We must send help.

Educate yourself. It's the least you can do.
