Am I the only one who sees some irony here?

Granted, the US record on accepting refugees from Africa and Asia and the middle east --  including those we have been instrumental in displacing --  is either unconscionable, pathetic or par for the course depending on your perspective. But, Israel exists because of guilt in the west for not stopping the holocaust and not providing succor and sanctuary for those exposed to the Nazis. So, this is pretty sad, especially since a lot of Israelis are unhappy about the decision. Darfur is going to be an epic disaster, even in Africa, for a long time, and I personally don't see the likelihood of any positive resolution. To add irony, of course, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is a major sponsor of efforts to educate and to force some sort of action on Darfur.

Um...equality is a myth. The immigration bill of 1968 took America from 90% white to near hell in 4 decades...

Go tell Switzerland they need more diversity. You will be punched in the jaw.

By the way...Africa did not listen. Look at the 53 countries on that continent. 51 are a mess.
We gave them Deocracy and they gave themseves stupidity. The French, English, Dutch, Spanish, Itaians, and Germans left every country in Africa better than when they arrived. It only took a few years for the Africans to destry themselves. The problem with Africa is their are too many Africans. Make the place 75 % Chinese and it will function just fine. The English civilized the place and then left. Now look at it. When you have a people that do not even produce a gene pool capable of getting water out of the ground after thousands of years, you know you are in big trouble. Japan has no natural resouces. Africa has it all. Equality is a myth.

Last I checked Africans have been killing Africans for millions of years...

I won't bother chiming in - it looks like Ames is having a great conversation with himself.

I get it. Our moral failures and desertion of the principles that made us the "city on the hill" is the fault of the victims...

Ames, what's your position on the Iraq invasion? For it or against it, based on what you know now? That'll help us calibrate your position on the Cthulhu meter...right now, I kind of see you as soul-dead, but he could already have eaten your's...
