Neglecting Sudan

I finally got around to reading this fairly lengthy piece on the Darfur situation from this month’s First Things. The author, Allen Hertzke, criticizes religious human rights activists for not bringing the same zeal and attention to bear on Darfur that they brought to the persecution of Christians (and animists) in southern Sudan. He also makes the case that there’s a lot that can be done short of military intervention to alleviate the situation.
