However, Islamist dictator Omar el-Bashir and his accomplices are the thugs responsible for these atrocities, not our President. This genocide requires global confrontation and George Bush should be at the forefront of the effort, but advertisements placed in several prominent newspapers smack of leftist propaganda and give the impression that George Bush bears the greatest responsibility for this human tragedy. The real bad guys are never identified. Also, why not call upon all national and international leaders, whose cooperation is needed, by asking them to join in taking action? Why not pressure media outlets worldwide to raise public awareness about this holocaust? Has George Bush suddenly been anointed Savior of the World II? Given Jim Wallis’ history and his harsh criticism of Mr. Bush, I suspect that isn’t the case. Some Christian leaders appear to have been manipulated for a political end.

How can I get my government in Australia to act? Kevin Rudd, leader of the oppostion is a christian who apparently lives in the way of God, what can he do now and when he is elected as leader of Australia later this year? This issue tests what our faith and religion stand for, the reason why Jesus died for us.God bless Darfur Christians as they wait for our mercy. Angela

I guess deep inside, I marched to voice my opinion on Muslims killing Christians in Darfur.
I’m so tired of hearing about our war crimes in Iraq and the killing of innocent civilians.  Are we ahead or behind Sadaam Husein in number of innocents killed?
There is no fighting in Darfur! Just the slaughter of half a million innocent, peace loving people.
No “Innocent” doesn’t include radical muslims killing in the name of Jihad.
I interacted with many people with many different views during my 10 mile march, but only two indididuals on seperate occasions with whom I received very negative reaction from. In both cases they seemed to be of middle eastern decent, and in both cases they seemed very upset about “The Cross”.  Sorry, but as they say “Truth hurts”.
