... world hunger, poverty, curable disease, global warming.... I'll try to show you what I mean.
It is so cool that the Washington Post writer met with the Sudan Ambassador to talk about the Hunger Strike. In my fantasy I wish I had been there when he said what a "complex" situation Darfur was - that I shouldn't die for such a thing. Of course this is the entire problem with him, Bashir, State Dept, congress, Bush, US InActivsts of all stripes. "Oh it is so complicated!" everyone wails.
It is actually very simple, I wanted to tell him. Just imagine that an all powerful entity has just placed your dearest loved one in one of the camps and you are told that the only way you can save them is to stop the Genocide, and you have until June 30. Mr. Ambassador, Darfur just got a whole lot simpler, didn't it?
We are all trying to Save Darfur with our "heads." It can't happen. The "head" is neither wise enough, inspired enough, courageous enough, or motivated enough. The exercise above puts your "Heart" in charge with all that the "head" is missing. Darfur is easy for the "heart" to solve; I'd have liked to tell him. Actually I'm dying to tell him and everyone that passes the embassy the same thing. If they listen, it will Rescue and Restore Darfur. Nothing else can and will.
