The beginning of genocide is being observed in Darfur, again. I really have no words for this. The Wall Street Journal has a thorough article, documenting the killings, and the acts of war that have already began.
The very worst, most unbelievable, horrendous thing in the article was holding a mother at gunpoint while setting fire to her, house with three children all under 10 inside. None made it out.
I am unable to remotely comprehend this level of evil.
I am unable to comprehend, watching my children being burned alive.
I am unable to comprehend hearing their screams and being able to do nothing, except die with them, which I imagine I would, deathly preferable to life at that point.
I lack the wisdom of Solomon, and have not the faintest idea of what we, the international community, America ought to do. But doing nothing is only marginally better than complicit.
