Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about

There is a genocide going on in Darfur, Sudan. An estimated 400,000 people in Darfur have died since the conflict began in 2003. An estimated 2 million people have been displaced from their homes, mostly seeking refuge in camps in Darfur's major towns. Two hundred thousand have fled to neighboring Chad.
First, I cannot understand why such killings happens at all, what goes on in the brains of people where all of them just start taking lives on such a widespread scale. What prompts not 1, not 10, not 100 but like half a country to take to killing the other half.
Second, why does the international community take so much time in reacting. Do something, arrrrgh...God!
Have we human beings just absolutely lost the plot? What are we doing to each other on this planet and what the feck are we doing to this planet....sigh!

That's something even I have thought about quite a lot...Why and how people can do this to anyone!I don't think a country full of people can think all this up on their own. They are being driven by a bunch of leaders. They have been made passionate about some cause that the 'leaders' think right. Maybe the corporate world should learn leadership skills from these guys. Companies could do wonders if their leaders were able to drive the workforce to work even 1/2 as passionately!
BTW check the lead editorial from today's TOI

Yup its all being instigated by a handful of 'leaders' but what I wonder is at what point do you go from generally following these leaders to just stopping to have value for human life and taking scores of human lives just in the name of being passionate...
