Letter: Must have missed news of Darfur's salvation
To the editor:
I was driving through Marblehead the other day and noticed that all the "Save Darfur" signs were gone. This came as a surprise — that somebody must have saved Darfur recently.
Before, when we had another president, nearly every lawn was festooned with "Save Darfur" signs. And there were full-page ads pleading for this to happen. It almost made you feel guilty that our country wasn't doing anything to defend these people.
Did Obama do something that the former president didn't do? I must have missed that story. I am so glad that Darfur must have gotten saved.
Those Marbleheaders must feel awfully proud of themselves. And also guilt-free, now that they can throw their "Save Darfur" signs away and forget all about Darfur.
