The Philadelphia Inquirer has published an editorial today criticizing the United States government for "shrugging" at genocide in Sudan's Darfur region and northern Uganda. They write, "At least the United States and others on the United Nations Security Council can lay claim to being world-class dawdlers in the face of two interconnected human catastrophes. They certainly can't take credit for aggressively trying to end worsening crises in northern Uganda and Sudan's Darfur region."

The editorial continues, "The Bush administration's inadequate response will further tarnish U.S. moral credibility; the Security Council will provide more ammunition to its critics if it cannot agree on strong action." Read more here.
