Google Earth Highlights Darfur

jc42 writes "Google Earth, in cooperation with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum now presents details of the growing disaster in Darfur. They give a virtual tour of the area, with details of events in many villages in the words of local residents. So in addition to their "Do no evil" motto, they apparently now have a policy of exposing evil. Needless to say, the Sudan government didn't exactly cooperate with this project."

Is this a joke?

Re:"Do no evil"

That part should not involve anyway anti-Muslim governments of US, UK, Israel, etc - those who deliberately blow off the propaganda machine on this issue. US interference in the affairs of Vietnam, Iraq and other countries cost dearly to people of those countries.

And only the blind cannot see that the recent hoopla is part of the propaganda machine.

Well, something has to be done by Muslims, without inclusion of Americans and Europeans. They lost their credibility circa XVII century and they keep losing it...

Does this apply to Iraq?

[unassimilatible]

Injustices cannot be corrected by ignoring them, or even passively allowing them to continue

Does this include Iraq under Saddam? And no, not everything you disagree with is a "troll." This is a serious question. How is the Darfur civil war, albeit horribly tragic, any more fixable than the Shia-Sunni conflict in Iraq?

or vis the UN

The UN? You must be joking. That impotent, decadent, cowardly organization has done zero (or worse) for human rights, and has only made it harder for the few honorable brave countries (like the US) to take action on anything.
