I actually edited a bit out that addresses some of the points you both make:<br /><br />The truth is it will take a revolution to change the practice of slavery, and right now the revolution, and world attention, is in the Middle East. That doesn't mean that nothing can happen on the North African front. Many of the same groups involved in slavery are allied with some of the factions we are fighting in the war on terror, I believe. The battle against Al Queda can spread the cause of freedom by reducing the resources they can allocate to North Africa, and if some countries get a new government, that could be a good thing. This may be something on the periphery right now, but we have a lot of history with that region, and it stands as a reminder of our past slaveholding.<br /><br />I thought it was too rambling for the piece, but now I'm not sure, so there it is.CHRIS LEAVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541894864601303486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9570630.post-1110334024364250682005-03-08T21:07:00.000-05:002005-03-08T21:07:00.000-05:00Slavery is the worst form of tyranny.

People needd to learn that people are not property. <br /><br />In order to do that, though, they need to be convinced that there is an authority higher than themselves. With many people refusing to believe in God and acting immorally, they do not want to confront that in which they have contributed to, if only by ambivalence. (sp?)<br /><br />Really good article. I think we should be careful though. We are all responsible, not just the liberals. I know we talk about it on the right, and President Bush has even tried to bring attention to what is going on in Darfur. <br /><br />I just wish people would stop hating him long enough to hear his message.
