I have grown fond of the Bull Moose blog, which I describe as a blog with good centrist commentary and a lean to the right on social issues. While I sometimes disagree with the blog's perspective I am magnanimous enough to appreciate a variety of viewpoints, especially when delivered without moral certitude.
In this post Mr. Moose (Marshall Whitman) challenges bloggers to assert their relevance and end the genocide in Darfur, or at least draw attention to the ongoing slaughter there:
Bull Moose
Genocide is defined as "the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group".
Why do you suppose that Americans are significantly more engaged in the Schiavo case than in the slaughter of Darfur?
On a related note, I am told the movie Hotel Rwanda properly focuses the vigor of the spirit on the dirty business in Darfur.
