Story behind the song
Seeing a sign at a protest rally entitled "Out of Iraq, Into Darfur," Leupp wondered if this was an ironic statement - like "out of the frying pan into the fire," or an actual strategy among activists. Is a section of the peace movement doing George Bush's bidding? Find out the sad truth in this must-hear interview.

mike mandel is a ridiculous in his view of the darfur conflict. it is in fact the janjaweed who, armed by the gov't of sudan, shot first. check your history books. and just look at the lopsided numbers - the number of sudanese army and janjaweed isn't even reported because they are just too strong, too disorganized, except for their ability to count the millions of displaced and 100's of thousand killed of non-arab darfuri's. please, please don't fight the save darfur activists work. you are right that they need food - but the janjaweed and gov't soldiers won't let it in - we need to arm the food trucks in order to get it to the people. just think about it. the displaced are being starved to death! and the murdered are huge. it is, in fact, a genocide. i found your view as being very ccounterproductive in getting the food, as you say, to the people as you blame the displaced and murdered for their own atrocities! think about how ridiculous that sounds. peace---jd
