Bush imposes new sanctions on Sudan - Focus on Sudan - MSNBC.com

Four days after my post on why I do not trust conventional media sources, which included a criticism of their coverage of the atrocities in Sudan, Bush puts out a statement about new U.S. sanctions against the Sudanese government. Unfortunately, the sanctions do not go far enough and will make little difference in the spilling of innocent blood by the Janjaweed Militia. Why has it taken so many years to get this president to pay attention to something that so many people in the United States and around the world have been pointing to as one of the world's worst atrocities? Have Russia and China been paying him blood money to keep a "hands off" policy? It certainly would not surprise me.
