SOME LIVES ARE MORE VALUABLE br> Re: Christopher Orlet's On Our Watch : /p>

I always wonder if people like Gorgeous George have ever taken a step back and examined their positions for inconsistencies. How can they merely shrug at the evidence of a human rights nightmare in Iraq by the former regime and then demand action in Darfur? Why do mass graves, rape rooms, and torture chambers in Iraq matter so much less than a civil war in Africa?

p>We non-celebrities have to deal with reality. He really wants to put our troops in Africa between two warring Muslim armies? This is a good idea? Is he going to volunteer? br> -- Chris /p>

Why is it that the left always wants to defend Muslims (except in Iraq and Afghanistan), but ignores and/or encourages the slaughter of Christians in places like southern Sudan, Rwanda (where Bill Clinton with the UN and French abetted the genocide), Nigeria, Indonesia, China, etc. I know they hate the deluded followers of Christ in the U.S., but if persecution and genocide is wrong isn't wrong everywhere? I mean how could the enlightened left not always do the right thing they're such "nobler people" than most Americans and Christians?

What happens when we put troops in Darfur and stop the genocide? How soon will the Democrats, the media and Hollywood be clamoring for Bush's impeachment for lying about genocide in Darfur? Wouldn't US intervention be denying Muslim fanatics a free expression or religion?

p>Here is a suggestion for the rent a mobs of the left -- why don't you go to Darfur and form human shields to protect the victims of Muslim extremism. I'm sure the extremists in Khartoum will treat you better than the tyrant George W. Bush. br> -- Michael Tomlinson
