History Waits, Justice Delayed, President Omar al-Bashir Smiles

While I understand the larger needs and goals (in this case referendums on southern independence in Sudan) comes before emotional satisfaction, there still should be some way to better convey feelings over the madman, President Omar al-Bashir.

This is how the paper reported it this morning when President Obama spoke about the need for al-Bashir to face justice.

Without naming him, Mr. Obama said Mr. Bashir must face justice.

“There can be no lasting peace in Darfur—and no normalization of relations between Sudan and the United States—without accountability for crimes that have been committed,” Mr. Obama said.

Ouch!!

I know, I know. 

President Obama had no more pleasure limiting his remarks than I do in reading them.  And yet somewhere there needs to be a time to drop the diplomatic speak and call the  mass murderer out for what he is.

President Omar al-Bashir needs to rounded up and carted off and tried for crimes against humanity.   

Meanwhle history waits and justice is delayed.
