A Letter From John Edwards

[The_Warmth]

Dear President Bush:

You said that genocide would not happen on your watch. Please make good on that promise and lead the effort to create a NATO force to stop the genocide in Darfur.

A militia group backed by the Sudanese government has slaughtered an estimated 400,000 people and driven 2.5 million people from their homes since 2003. U.N. troops are on their way, but will take five more months to arrive in Darfur. NATO forces -- if the U.S. stepped up to moral leadership -- could end the conflict immediately.

America's military is the finest fighting force in the world. The U.S. should apply its unique military assets -- our airlift capabilities, logistical support and intelligence operations -- to aid NATO peacekeeping in Darfur.

The time to act is now. Thank you.

3. 'Have already signed this petition, but was happy to see this post.

Can't help but observe today that while George W. Bush is preoccupied with farting his way through the White House, Senator Edwards is asking for the nation's attention to the dignity of human life in far-flung locales.

As usual, I think the Democrats carry the day.

4. I can't wait to see the day...

that bush comes to terms with the reasons he became President. He can be manipulated. No one to laugh at his fart jokes soon enough (not really soon enough).

5. Right. I don't even think anybody's laughing much at them now,

especially his White House staff.

There's going to be some reckoning, I think, and Bush is going to be one unhappy little monkey on November 8th.
