McCain plays fear and division cards with Jerusalem press.

U.S. Won't Allow Another Holocaust is the headline.

So, in McCain's world, peace is never an objective work pursuing. I sure hope we have an answer for this...perhaps, something on the order of there is no reason that the world's leader cannot walk and chew gum at the same time.

1. OK, where are the Nazis?

Honestly, tell me one nation being run by Nazis that Israel has to fear.

3. Really Senator what is your plan for rescuing Darfur

The report seems to confirm what aid officials in Darfur have been saying for much of the past year: that the increasingly chaotic security situation, both inside the enormous camps of displaced people and in the desiccated rural areas that are very difficult to reach even in the best of times, has gotten to the point that it is hampering the delivery of much needed emergency food.

“The United Nations has been sounding the alarm about the deterioration of the nutritional situation in Darfur for months,” said Stephanie Bunker, a spokeswoman for the United Nations’ humanitarian operations.

She said that attacks on aid workers were up 150 percent and that “civilians continue to be displaced as a result of attacks from all sides, with almost 290,000 displaced in Darfur this year alone. Many camps for the displaced can no longer absorb new arrivals, and tensions are rising.”

Sudanese officials said that the United Nations was exaggerating the problems, and that life in Darfur had actually gotten better recently.

Still, United Nations officials say the number of zones they could not reach has steadily increased this year, because of the attacks on aid workers and food convoys. Much of this violence seems to be a result of the fragmentation of the conflict, with rebel groups splintering into warring factions and formerly allied militias turning on one another.

To counter this, the United Nations and the African Union are trying to send in an expanded, joint peacekeeping force. But that deployment has been delayed by bureaucratic battles with the Sudanese government and the reluctance of developed countries to supply high-tech equipment, like helicopters.

As a result, people in Darfur are beginning to lose hope, and that may be another factor taking a toll on their health, several aid officials said.
