Genocide
A basic definition of genocide:
1. One group of people decides that another group is worth less/inferior/not human. Usually this smaller group is a minority or weaker than the first group. It's the foundational justification for any corporate sin: "They" are not as good as "us."
2. Leaders of the first group take advantage of innate prejudices and encourage the powerful majority to systematically kill/rape the "inferior" group, in an attempt to wipe them out.
Genocide is going on in Darfur as we speak and there is almost no media coverage. But every human being belongs to God, and is equal to every other in God's eyes. Evil is at work and must be stopped, whether or not it presents an immediate threat to our national interests. Genocide is a crime against God, and cannot be ignored.
(Here the Sudan Tribune remarks on the irony of saying "Never again" to the Holocaust, but dragging our collective feet in Darfur.)
