It looks obvious

Through a Post in the Atlantic Review , which mainly discusses the reporting standards of the German’s media, I discover the work of Brian Steidle.

His site , under the roof of the U.S. Holocaust Museum, is a chilling document for the genocide in Darfur. And while not everyone can devote himself to the same level of action as Captain Steidle we can call our elected representatives and let them know that you are extremely concern with the genocide in Darfur; Call the talk show radio of your choosing and have them talk about Darfur. Make enough public pressure so the administration will not hide behind procedural excuses and act to stop the mass murder in Sudan.

The first photograph I took in Darfur was of a tiny child, Mihad Hamid. She was only a year old when I found her. Her mother had attempted to escape an onslaught from helicopter gunships and Janjaweed marauders that had descended upon her village of Alliet in October 2004. Carrying her daughter in a cloth wrapped around her waist, as is common in Sudan, Mihad’s terrified mother had run from her attackers. But a bullet had rung out through the dry air, slicing through Mihad’s flesh and puncturing her lungs. When I discovered the child, she was nestled in her mother’s lap, wheezing in a valiant effort to breathe. With watery eyes, her mother lifted Mihad for me to examine.

Back to the Atlantic Review post - it is also very interesting to note the European, and in this post the German, reporting about Darfur. What is the psychology that creates the desire to slander the Americans in Iraq but to ignore genocide in Sudan?

Although Darfur is much closer to Europe than the US, the mass murder, expulsions and rapes in Darfur (some call it "genocide") seem to be covered more extensively in the US than in the German media. American NGOs devoted to Darfur are more vocal than German NGOs.
Do Germans care more about alleged torture, abuse, human rights violation and inhumane living conditions in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib than about much worse conditions in Darfur and many other war zones?
Why is the media in general more concerned about the alleged German intelligence agency’s support for bombing Bagdad, but not concerned about the German government support for trade fairs in Sudan?
Darfur is more outrageous in both magnitude and intensity than Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib, but the US scandals are more in the news because the media is more interested in the perpetrators than in the victims. US perpetrators are more sexy than Sudanese perpetrators, it seems. German criticism of US human rights violations would be more credible if the German media would be equally concerned about the much serious violations around the world.
