It's been reported that Steven Spielberg has decided not to participate in the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing as an artistic adviser, citing the lack of progress in ending the genocide in Darfur.
How is it China is related to Darfur? I read about it in the book What is the What, a story of some of the Lost Boys of the Sudan. It told of the northern part of the country as being politically driven by China's huge need for oil, which the southern part of the country has - thus the warring atrocities.

I am so sorry to have to use word verification - I hate them myself. But I'm getting too many spam comments and this is supposed to eliminate them. Maybe this will just be needed for awhile . . .
