Not On Our Watch #2

Chapters 4-6 mainly focused on the causes and the perpetrators of the genocide in Darfur and the reasons why the United States have not done anything drastic so far. For some reason I felt it was a lot easier to read these chapters. The beginning quote in chapter 5 “If every member of the House and Senate has received 100 letters from people back home saying we have to do something about Rwanda, when the crisis was first developing, then the response would have been different.” –Senator Paul Simon really made me think of our letter writing campaigns. While I was reading and I came across this quote I was like “hey this sounds really familiar”. But the reality is, the genocide in Darfur has been going on for years and though people might think it’s still not too late, hundreds of thousands of people have already died.
