Obligatory convention post, and a dig at my Republican friends

With the Democratic Convention on T.V. and partisan politics in the air, I thought I'd take this opportunity to note to my Republican friends that AntiWar.com has posted a speech by Republican U.S. Rep. Ron Paul arguing against the bipartisan resolution declaring Darfur to be genocide. In case you're wondering, AntiWar.com is the web site whose "initial project was to fight for the case of non-intervention in the Balkans." How ironic that a group of radical pacifists who, in effect, support genocide lauds a Republican from Texas who argues against stopping genocide while Democrats meet to approve a platform that would add 40,000 troops to the U.S. military.
