After watching the Darfur piece on 60 Minutes - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Last night my eyes have really been opened.

Normally I'm not one to let the journalists out there persuade me one way or the other. I think news organizations whether they openly admit it or not typically have a political agenda. CNN leans to the left, FOX leans to the right.

But that piece on Darfur on 60 Minutes last night really angered me towards The Bush Administration. The fact that we and the world aren't doing as much as we can here is something that in another life where those who were in power to do something and did nothing....those individuals will pay a heavy price.

In all fairness to the Bushies (and it gives me great sorrow to say this) I am not sure that the results would be different in Darfur if it were the Gore or Kerry administration. I hope that it would be, but I think that it would be less than a fifty-fifty proposition.
