The funny thing is, the United States is probably the one country doing the most to help Sudan right now. Mind you, it's not all that much, but it's still leagues ahead of what the rest of the world is doing at this point.

What I would be curious about is what ideas the protestors Sunday had to offer for how we could change the situation in Sudan.
