Something to check out

Nicholas Kristof, the sometimes supercilious, too often self-righteous, but occasionally touchingly humane columnist for the New York Times has a short slide show about people he met on a recent trip to Darfur.

International attention is finally focusing on the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, but even with 10,000 people dying there each month, we haven't yet dared to call it genocide. To meet some of the people whose lives are at stake - orphans, widows, rape victims - see the slide show of my photos that I've put at the top of www.nytimes.com/kristofresponds. Look them in the eye and try to say this isn't genocide.

It's worth seeing.

My most recent post on Darfur was on Monday.
