Thread Name: BS: Sudan
Subject: RE: BS: Sudan
I have worked with refugees from Sierra Leone and Guinea. Does this make me a hypocrite because I've never contributed to a thread on the Sudan? Ive also worked with Iraqi refugees. But this is not the reason I have contributed to the threads on Iraq.

My country's government has sent troops to Iraq, thats why people in australia are debating the Iraq issue - and will for years to come, because we are involved. reading/commenting is a way of getting more informed.

I don't think its wise to line people up and to dismiss their views according to some negative, sweeping generalisations. The world is too complex.

But I'm glad to hear that you're interested in the Sudanese, Bruce, and will be interested to hear what your doing about it.

best wishes
