As regular readers may know, the only issue over which I openly admit to having a social conscience is the ongoing violence in Darfur. The Sudan's main trading partner is China and there are many who think that if the violence is ever going to stop, China's influence will be key. Activists are urging those concerned to send a message to China's special representative on Darfur to send peacekeepers to get a handle on the situation. Please take a moment to click on the following link and fill out the message urging China to take action. I'm not asking you to donate a lot of time, or any of your money. All I'm asking you for is your voice.

I hate to be cynical about legitimate social issues, but I think that China assisting Darfur to maintain social peace and a social conscience is a tad bit hypocritical.
No one said politics was pretty or logical, or even pretty logical. If China is the key to stopping the violence in Darfur, then that's where we have to put pressure. Roosevelt and Churchill hated Stalin and never trusted him, but they still worked with him.
