"Actress and activist Mia Farrow..."

If I change my job title "software developer and activist" will the media publish my opinions regarding the world?

I seriously wonder how this merits being news.

As for the content of her message, "[China] is not doing enough to help end the humanitarian crisis in Darfur." I find it baffling.

So China somehow has a responsibility to help change the internal crisis in Darfur? Does this mean that Mia Farrow thinks the U.S. had a responsibility to oust Sadam for the repression and killing of shias and Kurds? Does this mean that Mia Farrow thinks the U.S. has a responsibility to change the regime in North Korea who can't keep their people fed?

My opinion in all three cases (Darfur, Iraq, and NK) is that there's not only no responsibility but no authority either. These "activists" don't seem to realize that the flip-side of this "we must intervene" coin are the interventions in Iraq, Bosnia, etc. The same logic that allows for one allows for others.

Well, for starters, the "Peoples Republic" could stop selling weapons and materiel to Khartoum's Arab Janjaweed Militia that is doing most of the slaughter, slave-trading and rape in Darfur. They could, but you know they won't...

As far as "intervening", just having the Americans bomb the Sudanese airforce and go strafing some Janjaweed scum might do the trick.
