Darfur Meeting on the Marquette Campus

Tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. in Straz 105, a meeting about genocide in Darfur.

For information, you can contact our colleague Barry McCormick.

We have avoided being very interested in this issue, not because it lacks merit, but because we have despaired of seeing any good done.

The United Nations looks to be a toothless tiger, and the United States — the only power able to intervene unilaterally or lead a “coalition of the willing” — is tied down in Iraq.

The organizers of the event are calling for intervention by a multinational force. We wish them well.
