Ultimately, the greatest strength of the GIF lies in the statement it makes. It speaks to diplomats and governments, saying that we, the civilians, are watching and we are furious with the delay of action in Darfur. If the powers that be fail to take action, by decision or indecision, then we shall support those who do. By buying a green “Save Darfur” bracelet, you will provide non-lethal supplies—food, tents, gasoline—to troops who save lives and gather evidence to prosecute the masterminds of the genocide. As Harvard students...
