Bishop Laments 'Coarseness' of Modern Discourse

"We confront this coarseness on a daily basis in the newspapers, on television and on the radio," he said.

Dallaire Pleads for Action on Darfur

Retired Canadian general Romeo Dallaire blasted the U.S. and Canada on Monday for failing to rally the world and provide the political will to save people in Darfur. The reason so many people have been allowed to die in Sudan already, Dallaire told a Senate subcommittee, is simple. "There's no self-interest. Who cares about Darfurians?
