What a joke Njoroge wachai is. He is the quintessential gutless man. Repeating like a parrot the white man's garbage and nonsense. He probably sees himself as a whiteman in his mind's eye. Hence the "conservative" suit this African wears like badge of honor in the white man's kitchen of lies. Njoroge is the head boy from Africa in this damned kitchen of lies that WAPO has become.
Shame on you Wachai. You are like the pro-slave African "chiefs" of yonder who sold their fellow Africans into slavery for a few beads and a cheap mirror.
Mr. Ocampo has chosen to disregard the effect of his indictment on Darfur crisis. This move does not encourage peace. I believe peace should first bring about then justice follows: It can not be the vice versa. The top priority should be stop war and bring about peace.
The US, Prez Bush and others have called the murders in Sudan and Darfur "genocide" for a long time. The International Court of Clowns (ICC) like many Europeans talk big but are really powerless blowhards.
What is going on in Sudan is an example of what can happen when Islamic practices are allowed to run their fullest and most extreme expressions.
But just like "journalists" in the US LMSM and Europe ignored the genocides in Africa for a long time, the writers on this site will not explore and define the role Islam and its practices play in the killing of black Africans.
Zakaria and Ignatius, good liberals, will not touch the subject with a 10-foot pole.
Nor will they talk about Islamic practices and slavery.
Maybe they will one day mention slavery and its acceptance in the Islamic Republic of Maurifreakingtania and elsewhere in the Islamic world.
Isn't slavery a form of genocide? It just kills more slowly.
But don't hold your breath to read about it on these pages!

The ICC PULLED THE BIGGEST STUNT EVER. Al-Bashir is not necessarily responsible for what goes on in Darfur. If Freedom fighters in Iraq are branded Insurgents, what makes them different from the Sudanese militia? The I. C. C. Should be disbanded because they failed We Africans by giving Taylor the leanest of charges. A court in kenya could have done better.
Activists and do-gooders never saw the complexity of this issue, and now it is too late for the media to admit that they didn't do their home work. Just Google the estimates for Darfur dead and you will find they range between 200 - 450 thousands depending on whom you ask. Is it 200 or more than twice that number? Why can't someone go find out?
Darfur has been in serious trouble since the early 80's, when neighboring Chad and Libya fought a border war, and turned Darfur into a weapons market. I know that because I come from Kordofan, Darfur's provice neighbor to the east.
The Sudanese government is a criminal one, no doubt. But it is not the only criminal in Darfur and racism is not the only or even the most important factor here. But it is a serious charge that gets people's blood boiling and their pockets generous. Yes, it it a major factor but real racism here is to sacrifice peace for millions to indict a criminal. Why can't that wait until the killing is stopped first? I thought the people of Darfur should be our priority, not a ruthless dictator, who would eventually be brought to justice.
Now the ICC really gave Al-Bashir and the NCP a chance of a life time to be popular, win the next elections, and possibly retreat from his North-South peace obligations. This is a policy blunder, and the ICC is shooting itself in the foot.
Why not discuss the crimes of genocide committed by the United States in Iraq? Why doesn't the ICC indict Bush and Cheney? What hypocritical double standards!
