…the Bull Moose reminds us there is far more fear and death in the world than the current controversy in Florida:
Obviously, much of the status of the war against terrorism must remain secret. However, we cannot assume that silence equals safety. To prevent the nation from becoming complacent, it would seem that our leaders should present a progress report on this war.
Set aside the war against terror – how much attention is devoted to the ongoing genocide in Dafur? One death is a tragedy, tens of thousands are ignored. We were all moved by Hotel Rwanda, and left the theaters wondering how could it have happened. Just turn on any TV network and you have the answer to that question. Do you think we will have a special weekend session of Congress to stop the Dafur genocide?
Even though the Bull Moose has a definite political agenda, the questions he poses are legitimate, and deserve to be considered by all.
