<html><div style='background-color:'><P>The crisis in Darfur is serious and is not being exaggerated!! I have done research on that and I can provide more information.

<P class=MsoPlainText>Hello S and all,</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Please send me any news articles or reports that shows the lack of a humanitarian crisis in Darfur. I must admit that I might be brainwashed by all the one sided media coverage about the crisis in Darfur (including PBS and wikipedia articles). I do not want to send money to the wrong places. The email that was sent earlier was just a copy of a template that was provided by http://www.savedarfur.org (which was an Ad on cnn).<BR></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>I, on the other hand, completely disagree that we have to wait for a bunch of poor starving people living in houses of mud and tents to raise awareness by creating blogs or having the Darfur club at MIT organize a demonstration in downtown Boston before reacting.<BR></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>PS: This is not about Mrs Condi either !?!<BR></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText>2.5 million people? starvation, disease, and rape....I doubt it</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>I cannot confirm how bad the situation is in Darfur since the media coverage </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>of what is really going on there is not clear</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>if Darfur's people cannot show the world what is really going on..as we did </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>in Lebanon or what we see in Iraq or to Palestinians, then we cannot trust </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>what Mrs Condi is saying.</P>

<P class=MsoPlainText>Dear Friend,</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Everyday, the 2.5 million people chased from their homes in Darfur face the</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>threat of starvation, disease, and rape, while the few lucky enough to</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>remain in their homes risk displacement, torture, and murder.</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>We must continue to do all we can.</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Would you join me in calling on President Bush and UN Secretary General Kofi</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Annan to do more?</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Visit http://www.savedarfur.org to do so.</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Thank you,</P>
