Dharfur groupies. I know that rich kids need safe causes so that they can feel good about themselves, and their parents can pretend that their kids are doing good for the world, and most importantly, they can list work-for-a-safe-cause on their resume. It used to be "send-buckets-of-tears" to women in Afghanistan, and I am noticing that the new cause is Dharfur (so the good people who used to send buckets of tears to Afghanistan now operate on the assumption that all is well in that country). These privileged kids need causes in which the US appears to be innocent--only to the ill-informed. They need a cause on which Republicans and Democrats can agree. Some have good intentions--maybe. But let me give you a hint: the US has been destroying Iraq and Afghanistan, and it sponosred the destruction of Lebanon over the summer--you may have heard. And the destruction of Palestine has been taking place with US weapons and money. You want a cause? Pick one.
