And Israel is picked on for trying to cooperate. BTW, a UN peacekeeping site in Lebanon was used by Hezbollah to fire from. The UN force there said they could do nothing about it. This news comes out now, but we all knew what was happening 4 weeks ago.

Pgardn,
I sense you outrage.
Not only do Arab governments work this way, but also others....many.
Genocide has a very long history, and it isn't limited to Dafur.
Recent history includes Cambodia, Croatia, Uganda, Rwanda..I could go on for quite a while...far too many recently.
Before then, Germany, Turkey, Russia, China...add more of yours...there are far too many.
I even thought of including the United States, especially for the genocide that was committed against Native Americans.
I am equally outraged.
I sense that within the tragedy of your words there remain startling questions. Is this what the "human condition" should really be about?
Is there more that mankind can offer than hatred and all of the results wherein it is expressed?
There must be something better. I wish I knew how to help others find it.
I know in my heart that it exists.
