Obama policy on Darfur?
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 03:18 PM by Alpharetta
I started thinking about what I'd do on my first day on the job. Darfur came to the top of the list.

Can anyone point me to what Obama has said about policy regarding Sudan/Darfur?

1. I found his Darfur "scorecard". It doesn't say much
gives him an "A" but nothing specific other than "increase diplomacy"

2. Didn't you listen to the debate last night?
He was pretty plain about his policies on genocide such as in Darfur

5. thanks.
I really hope something gets done.

Stopping this genocide, aside from saving 5000 lives a month, will do much to begin rehabilitating the USA's post-Abu Ghraib image.
