Three years and nine months ago Congress formally recognized as the situation in Darfur as Genocide. The House and Senate passed the resolution unanimously three years and nine months ago as well. Hon. Joseph R. Biden was presiding. He asked the Ambassador about who was going to be held responsible and what was going to be done? Biden believes that the Ambassador has no major intentions to do the right thing. He walks around the issue by saying that actions should be in place by a set time. However, the deadline never gets met. There is a six step plan but no one seems to know when or if it will be put into place.
I wasn't aware that Congress, the House and Senate all agreed that the situation in Darfur was Genocide. The part about not getting a plan together doesn't suprise me though. This makes my convictions even stronger. The fact that the United States as a whole feels that whats going on is Genocide means that our country can't ignore it. The longer this goes on without action the worse we look.
