Last week, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan set up a commission to determine whether genocide has taken place in the Darfur region of Sudan. What do you think?
“So this might have been a genocide after all, and not a civil war in which only one side was fighting.”
Harold Mercer • Systems Analyst
“I think the U.N. is going to find that the blame lies with all the Sudanese rap music that glamorizes genocide.”
Amber Hughes • Program Aide
“I don’t know why the U.N. is getting involved in the first place. I also don’t know what ’U.N.’ stands for.”
Tom Cook • Salesman
“I think the entire world will breathe a sigh of relief if the U.N. finds that it is not genocide. Well, everyone except for the half-million people who were murdered there.”
Patrick Zink • Administrator
“Darfur, Darfur, Darfur. That’s all you ever hear these days. That, and the ongoing slaughter of civilians at the hands of government troops and Maoist rebels in Nepal.”
Teodoro Manzo • Roofer
“I sure hope the U.N. determines it was a genocide. Otherwise, none of the Sudanese will be covered under their genocide insurance.”
Norma Carrigan • Appraiser
