Google Earth Highlights Darfur

Posted by samzenpus on from the genocide-from-space dept.

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."

    Participation in the Darfur media circus IS exactly EVIL.
    I agree. As I say on my increasingly popular speaking engagements. If there's a solution to the Darfur problem the market will find the best one in the least time.

    is that problems solve themselves, or that you aren't involved, or that you can make things better by not being involved

    no

    you must get involved, or problems like darfur spreads. look at the geopolitical environment around darfur. you ask me what the men who are perpetrating the crimes would do next were they to consolidate a base there and take their agenda to the next level. do you think people with ill will and global amibtions don't exist?

    0/11 was a one off?

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    how blind are you? ever hear of bali? madrid subway bombing? 7/7 in britain? how about what goes on in iraq on a daily basis? who is perpetrating these things?

    one off?

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. thanks for the comic relief. for all of our sake i really hope you aren't as naive as you present yourself
