U.S. urged to do more to help Sudan: "WASHINGTON -- A bipartisan group of lawmakers yesterday called for a more forceful U.S. response to the genocide in Sudan, saying a failure to act would accelerate killings in the Darfur region where 70,000 have already died.

'We have to move quickly, or three years from now, we'll be sitting around saying, 'Gee, how did half a million people die in Sudan while we were sitting on the sidelines?' ' said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash.

'I've seen a lot of things in my life, but nothing prepares you for what we saw in this rather rapid trip through Chad and Sudan,' McDermott said."
