Why Genocide Matters - New York Times

Why Genocide Matters - New York Times

Kristof is right to continue sounding the alarm against genocide in Darfur. The world should never tolerate genocide and if the U.N means anything, its record should be judged by its response to this evil around the world.

I hope that nations do not use the U.N. as 'cover' to avoid speaking out on their own. A nation's sovereignty should never trump genocide.

The problem comes when intervention to prevent genocide then turns to managing the power structure that is prevented from killing its people.

Keep the heat on, Nicholas!
