OK. I understand that people are up in arms (almost literally from todays board) but can we please put a few things into perspective. Sudanese fighters have declared war on France's peacekeeping troops as they are due to go over to help refugees stuck between Chad, Sudan and Darfur. The problems in Sudan go far beyond Islam and a teacher. It is an extremely contentious region. Realize how many refugees are dying on the border and how many are trapped there trying to get out of Darfur (250,000). I feel that we are taking very complicated issues and oversimplifying them just to attack the Muslim people. Our country invaded an Islamic country and since you'd have to note that unrest around the world has only grown and it's not just with Islamic nations. Russia, China, North Korea.... not Islamic countries. This is a larger problem than just a teacher and a teddy bear but do you think it just gives you license to attack? I hope not. Thoughts? Thank you.
