Priorities in Darfur
Justice (called for by Desmond Tutu) or Peace (called for by Franklin Graham)?
Interesting pair of voices. I have to wonder how Graham got selected . . .
Though I can understand the perspective offered by Graham and fully recognize the pragmatism that has to largely define political processes, I believe that accountability in government is essential and that to permit a war criminal to retain his power because he is sometimes willing to listen to and cooperate with some outsiders will set a horrible precedent.
Thoughts?

I don't know what you do.
Same thing when I think in hindsight about Iraq, when both sanctions and war were enormously destructive.
I don't know how you do it.
I guess the hope is that the more people discuss these issues and study the cause and effect relationships in situations like Iraq, the better our chances are at bringing about a more effective solution.
