Time to Help

After the Holocaust one would think that the world learned its lesson and would never let something like that happen again. However, today over 50 years later we see Genocide occurring in Sudan. The people need to start getting educated now and keep forming organizations such as STAND . Hopefully this time the world learns its lesson that genocide needs to be fought against and stopped.
But is forming awareness groups and raising money really all we can do to help? Our fellow man is being oppressed and murdered. It is not our job to turn the other cheek; we must do something because obviously the citizens of Darfur can’t help themselves. I personally believe that our focuses should be aiding Darfur’s government and not in the Middle East. How many more lives will be lost before other nations step in to relieve Darfur of this problem?
