In order to bring about Peace, Tolerance, Understanding, Democracy, Freedom and any other catch words or phrases one might want to use, One Has To ‘Lead’ by ‘Example’!
This Country, and much of the World, are Ignoring that which is happening in Darfur, which is nothing new especially for this Country as to that part of the World. And the Direction, we here in the United States, have taken as to ‘Example’ is not ‘Leading’ but becoming the Major Destructive Power on this Planet, which others will just follow!

All Things Considered, May 5, 2006 · A new online, interactive video game gives players a glimpse of what it’s like to be a refugee in the Darfur region of Sudan. In “Darfur Is Dying,” players take on the role of refugees searching for food, shelter and safety, while avoiding the wrath of the murderous Janjaweed militia.
University of Southern California graduate student Susana Ruiz, the game’s creator, talks to Michele Norris about the project, including the particular challenge she faced to create a game that would hold players’ interest — and stir their conscience.
