CHAD - DARFUR PSYCHE OUT

As we realized when we went to the Darfur, it's really difficult to sort out what's at the root of all this genocide business. Everybody's torn between the ethnic dimension and the economic one and its ties to the oil industry, and somehow the Chinese are involved? Confusing. One theory though that we think the Western world is afraid to tackle is, maybe Darfuris are just really easy to spook/mass-kill. No judgments or anything, it's just seems a little kid-gloves that no one is willing to explore the idea that it's possible that the region is a locus for gullible-younger-sibling types. Or maybe the real killers are demons.
