Most of the villagers were hiding in the bush, where they were dying from bad water, malaria and malnutrition.

The U.N. Population Fund has a maternal health program in some Cameroon hospitals, but it doesn't operate in this region. It's difficult to expand, because President Bush has cut funding.

If President Bush is serious about genocide, an immediate priority is to stop the cancer of Darfur from spreading further, which means working with France to shore up Chad and the Central African Republic.

It's maddening in my travels to watch children dying simply because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The conflict in Darfur could escalate to where we're seeing 100,000 victims per month.

Too often, I believe, liberals deny that poverty is linked to bad choices.
