"Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little over the course of a century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." -Mark Twain

"The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet."
- Mark Twain

Aflame

Notes/Comment From Sam:

For more about China's arms payments to Khartoum, read this section from Human Rights Watch's report.

To learn more about China's role in Sudan, see Eric Reeves' site, and the campaign he helped create, "Dream for Darfur," which seeks to use the 2008 Beijing Olympics as point of leverage to pressure (or, shame) China into helping staunch the conflict in Darfur.
