Its really ironic, I find. I was at Trent university over the weekend (where I did my undergrad) and there were many of these posters around, but under several of them were posters saying we should do something Darfur. I just shudder to think what the Hippies think would be an acceptable Western solution to the crises in Darfur. Though i'm sure military intervention isn't part of it. Perhaps a UN led mission that the Sudanese government doesn't want, which would necessitate our invasion of a sovereign country.
Bah, been a long day. Please disregard my rantings.
