THAT'S WHAT WON HIM THE PEACE LAUREATE:

Darfur Advocates, Rep. Wolf Intensify Pressure on Obama: Letters Call for Harder Line on Sudan (Dan Eggen, 10/15/09, Washington Post)

Human rights groups and lawmakers are ratcheting up pressure on the Obama administration this week over its approach to ending violence in Sudan, saying the White House and the State Department are treading too cautiously in dealing with the government in Khartoum.

A coalition of U.S.-based advocates focused on the Darfur region -- where they say genocide is still being committed by the Sudanese government -- sent a letter to President Obama on Monday demanding the replacement of retired Air Force Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration as special envoy to Sudan, arguing that his attempt to engage with the country's rulers "is wrong and deadly."

Peace is just another name for letting dictators stomp on their own people while the West stays silent.
