Darfur makes me feel helpless. So many people have died there, are dying there, and all these websites and such say to me “do something” — then I have this great urge to muster up something, anything — but what will it do? What is needed there is for the United States military to actually get there and do something useful for a change, but this is not going to happen. Certainly not with the head of our country being such the oblivious ninny that he is. What is needed is for the routes to the poor to be guarded against whatever military factions would harshly divert what goods the people who do care have given. These things require some sort of decision higher up, and “the decider” is deciding to do nothing at all about it. Truly, I hear something truly wrong with the turning of the world, but this one hand feels futile in attempting to slow the movement of the ill wind that blows so strong.
This is what I have done, gone here: SaveDarfur.org, and sent an email to send U. N. peacekeeping troops there. And now that I’ve done that, I feel nothing if not more helpless. It’s a spitball in the wind, as far as I’m concerned. People are dying! People just like you, just like me: maybe even better than we, who have sinned less, and suffered more. And even now, as you read this, if I have moved a few, I feel it would in the best of all possible worlds too few to make a dent in the making of any kind of movement. All I can do, the best I can do, is be forlorn — this is what keeps me human in this. That I do care, whatever little that I can care, that I can sense a disturbance in the force, and you should too, whoever is reading this. Hang your head in shame, join me in this. We have said so many times that we would not let it happen again, like the commercial said on TV. We are not worthy.
