CNN. rape rape rape, no hope. Darfur.

[QuestionAll...]

15 military men rape a child and shove knives up children when they're done or shotgun them.
women cry there is no one to go to.

1. It is so horrible. Raping little kids. It is almost impossible just to

watch.

In Iraq they are torturing kids with drills, etc. before they kill them.

Lunatics lining little girls up in school houses and executing them.

My brain and heart can't take anymore.

[QuestionAll...]

4. somehow.

I think this Darfur reality on CNN now is somehow related to Foley. What he did to kids is almost kind, isnt it? or innocent? compared.

There are no coincidences in mess media.

[nam78_two]

8. seems unlikely

I don't think it has anything to do with Foley or America really...

I am glad someone is talking about this stuff :(

We need to hear this kind of stuff...Americans live in a bubble :(

[sadiesworld]

23. Same with the school shootings.

I'm not suggesting that the shootings (or CNN's programming for that matter) are anything more than coincidence, but there does seem to be some subtle spin going on here.

2. I have just been watching..its really terrible :(

Just awful.....
Terrible....

3. I wish there was a way

To destroy every rapist on Earth.

[QuestionAll...]

7. i'm all for the death penalty for that kind of crime.

proven beyond doubt. fry the fucking bastards. or let a horde of mothers rip at him with their bare hands.

[undergroundpanther]

12. I'd wear my steel claw

bladed handguards for that..I hate rapists.

[Solly Mack]

5. Yep...and the world watches

and does nothing

[Selatius]

6. It's the Rwandan Genocide redux

The African Union failed to stop the violence, but the US is bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[Ilsa]

9. If only the people there said they had WMD and hated

Americans and had some oil. Then maybe Bush would give a shit about the oil.

[QuestionAll...]

10. and go in and kill more kids with bombs? nt

[Selatius]

11. But Bush would claim we killed Jangaweed militiamen in the same blow

"Kill them all. Let God sort them out."

[Ilsa]

25. Most likely. He only gives a shit about the oil. nt

[cigsandcoffee]

15. They do have oil, though.

[Solly Mack]

19. Yep..and people might want to check into the dynamics of the "north-south

peace deal" and Bush's / US oil goals

[FormerDem06]

24. China has troops on the ground there....protecting oil extraction

That's why we can't get anything through the security council on the subject, and believe me they've tried several times.

[Jcrowley]

13. Remember the diaries

of de las Casas?

[bullwinkle428]

14. If the U.S. hadn't alienated the entire frigging world over the past

5 years, there would have been a reasonable chance for some kind of U.N. peacekeeping mission, which would most certainly require a large percentage of U.S. troops. It just sickens me when I think of all of that international good will in the days following 9/11 that was just pissed away by those miserable creeps in charge...

[Armstead]

16. Anderson Cooper deserves credit for this

Africa is not on the list of "hot topics" but Cooper is doing his damndest to draw attention to it.

He has been covering this for years, and I think he does have a sincere sense of mission to highlight what is happening there.

Judos to him for that. And a grudging kudo to CNN for letting him do it.

[QuestionAll...]

17. does he produce his own show?

or handed topics?

[Lorax]

21. I am fairly certain he chooses his own topics.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Armstead]

22. It's probbably a combination

It's the news, so he has to cover whatever's going on, and he's directed by the editors and producers.

But he also seems to have a lot of leeway to initiate things he might be interested too.

He's been covering AFrica for a long time. I think that's a case where he has the freedom to pursue that.

[Pirate Smile]

18. I agree.

[NNN0LHI]

20. And the worst part is they are still better off without our assistance

Shock And Awe won't stop the rapes. Unless we kill all the women with bombs and liberate the hell out of them like in Iraq.
