Where are we?

Remember the big fluff over Sudan a couple weeks ago. Colin Powell went there and the media whores and the blogosphere followed. Now, a few weeks later, everybody has forgotten about it again. Well, except the Heeb and me. Seems a whole bunch of folks are doing what they can to get aid to the people in Darfur and across the border in Chad. Well . . . that is . . . except the good ole' U.S. of A. There's genocide still going on, a humanitarian crisis of biblical porportions, and nothing from the White House. From The Head Heeb:

Cairo on the scene

Amira Ibrahim reports on Egypt's delivery of food and medical aid to the refugee camps in North Darfur. Egypt joins the United States, France, the UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in providing humanitarian aid to the refugees, but the relief efforts fall into two distinct categories. The Western aid is coordinated with the UN and is being delivered primarily to refugee camps outside Sudan, while Egypt and other Arab states are providing relief in Sudan with the cooperation of the Sudanese government. Although Egypt's diplomatic support of Khartoum may be unproductive in achieving a political resolution to the Darfur crisis, it might at least be useful in facilitating humanitarian aid to the refugees who are still in Sudan.

At least they're trying.
