I'd like to meet:

"Conversation" . . .
God and I in space aloneand nobody else in view . . ."And where are all the people,Oh Allah" I said,"the earth belowand the sky overheadand the dead that I once knew?""That was a dream," God smiledand said: "The dream that seemed tobe true; there were no peopleliving or dead; there was no earth,and no sky overhead,there was only myself in you.""Why do I feel no fear?" I asked,"meeting you here in this way?For I have sinned, I know full welland is there heaven and is there hell,and is this Judgement Day?""Nay, those were but dreams"the Great God said, "dreams that have ceased tobe.There are no such things as fear and sin;there is no you . . . you never have been.There is nothing at all but me."

Television:

"Television is a new, hard test of our wisdom. If we succeed in mastering the new medium it will enrich us. But it can also put our minds to sleep. We must not forget that in the past the inability to transport immediate experience and to convey it to others made the use of language necessary and thus compelled the human mind to develop concepts. For in order to describe things, one must draw the general from the specific; one must select, compare, think. When communication can be achieved by pointing with the finger, however, the mouth grows silent, the writing hand stops, and the mind shrinks."
~ Arnheim ~

Books:

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."
~ Sir Winston Churchill ~

As the pages of a book are turned, one's world is broadened. Literature is valuable for many reasons: it sparks our creativity and imagination; it introduces us to new people, places, and ideas; it builds our vocabulary and strengthens our use of language; and it clarifies difficult situations and troublesome feelings. In short, books help us reach out to the world; beyond home and community and aid us in visualizing an ever-expanding array of possibilities. The human mind should be nourished as often as possible for it has an infinite appetite.

Heroes:

In my eyes, my mother and my father are my absolute number 1 heros. They have made me who I am and taught me all I know. I plan to say "Thank You!" as I care for them for the rest of my days.
GREAT QUOTES! . . . . . . . . . .

"Omar al Bashir told us that we should kill all the Nubas. There is no place here for the Negroes any more"
Words of a Janjawid fighter, according to a refugee from Kenyu, interviewed by Amnesty International

This one year old girl was shot by a Sudanese government helicopter.
Her mother was killed.
As you read this, over 3 million people in Darfur, Sudan are crammed together in concentration camps, dying of disease and hunger, while government sponsored troops slaughter civilians, use rape to destroy group unity, and shoot children for sport. 400,000 men, women, and children are already dead. Entire races have been exterminated by the Sudanese government's campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Where is Darfur?
Darfur is a region in western Sudan, an eastern African country half the size of the United States
Why are people being killed?
Ethnic African rebel groups in Darfur launched a war for independence, sighting a lack of life saving government funds in the region. President Omar Al-Bashir responded with a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing against civilians. He has used proxy militia groups to torch whole cities, rape and kill thousands of women and children. The violence continues today.
Omar Al-Bashir has used the Janjaweed militia to murder thousands of men, women, and children while enjoying a luxurious lifestyle. Parade magazine's David Wallechinsky ranked al-Bashir at the very top of his list of the worlds ten worst dictators. Most recently he has severely restricted press access to Darfur, an ominous sign of what's to come.

When Omar Al-Bashir rose to power in 1989 he dissolved parliament and banned political parties. Ignoring countless U.N. resolutions to disarm the Janajaweed militia and end the violence in Darfur, Bashir has made a mockery of international law and the ideals on which the United Nations was founded. He seems to believe the international community will allow him to get a way with the wholesale murder of entire ethnic groups, and so far he has been right.

Children in Auschwitz concentration Camp, January 1945
After the Holocaust the world said it would "never again" allow the wholesale slaughter of ethnic groups by any government, even if it meant standing up to a major world power such as Nazi Germany.
Omar Al-Bashir is making a mockery of this pledge by committing genocide on a budget less than that of most U.S. states.
If the world is unwilling to intervene in a genocide committed by a relatively minor world player, how can we possibly hope to stand up to the next Nazi Germany?

"When we tried to escape they shot more children. They raped women; I saw many cases of Janjawid raping women and girls. They are happy when they rape. They sing when they rape and they tell that we are just slaves and that they can do with us how they wish."

-Man from Mukjar, as reported by Amnesty International.

"There was also another rape on a young single girl aged 17: M. was raped by six men in front of her house in front of her mother. Ms brother, S., was then tied up and thrown into fire."

a 35-year-old Fur man from Mukjar, as quoted by Amnesty International

This girl was raped by members of Janjaweed

Rape is used systematically in Darfur, in order to destroy group unity. Rape turns women into social outcasts, shames and demoralizes their husbands. It is also used as an incentive for soldiers, along the with the plunder from the cities they sack.

Thousands Rally on Washington for Darfur Justice
Thousands of people gathered near the capital in Washington on April 30th, 2006 to raise support for an international peacekeeping force in Darfur.
The demonstration was hugely successful in raising political will and media exposure about the genocide in Darfur.
1- Humanitarian funding - The international community has fallen short of the donations they have promised to help provide basic necessities for men, women, and children in Darfur. The United States has been a leader in providing life saving assistance and should continue to lead our allies in providing basic necessities for children in Darfur.
2- The International Criminal Court - The United States should use every diplomatic means available, including the International Criminal Court. Full U.S. cooperation with the ICC in Darfur will send a strong message to Omar Al-Bashir and other war criminals.
3- Multi-national peacekeeping force - The African Union mission in Darfur has proved horribly inadequate at maintaining peace. Humanitarian operations have been curtailed due to the violence. The U.S. should play a logistical role in supporting a multi-national peacekeeping force in the region and work with our allies to fund an adequate multi-national force in Darfur.
