3 Books

Reasonably good books and reasonably quick reads. Unlike a text you must study for a quiz or exam, you can skip a word or two and not lose the main point of the chapters:



Not On Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond. Don Cheadle and John Prendergast. Hyperion books.

Children at War. P. W. Singer. Univ Calif Press.

They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The True Story of three Lost Boys from Sudan. Benson Deng, Alephonsion Deng, Benjamin Ajak. Public Affairs.



And just to be clear - a great deal of what is happening in the Sudan IS RELIGIOUS.

The fact the UN says otherwise is bullshit - they set up a committee to investigate the claims of genocide and reached the startling conclusion that it was NOT genocide. Amazing that any sentient being still thinks the UN is useful.

The fact they refuse to accept that it is genocide and religiously driven, is evidence of their uselessness.

Those who argue to the contrary, will ultimately find themselves complicit in the genocide.









fuck the UN

Make Mine Freedom - 1948
