If you were invited to a party hosted by the enablers of the genocide of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, would you go?

China has the power to convince the Sudanese government to accept deployment of the United Nations-African Union (UNAMID) peacekeeping forces for Darfur.  But instead China remains Sudan's major weapons provider, largest foreign investor and trade partner, and diplomatic apologist.

President Bush must not sit quietly and watch the lighting of the Olympic torch - under the 'one world, one dream' banner - unless China has used its influence to pressure the Sudanese government to allow the effective deployment of the UNAMID peacekeeping force.

We can support the Olympic Games, but we cannot support China's tolerance for the atrocities being committed in Sudan.  Beijing should not be allowed to bask in the warm glow of peace and brotherhood associated with the opening games if China is still underwriting atrocities in Darfur.

Click the link below to make sure President Bush gets the message: Stay home unless China uses its influence to get peacekeepers effectively deployed in Darfur.
