Some Nicholas D. Kristof's quotes. Goto "Nicholas D. Kristof's quotation" section for more.I try to be careful about wording. One of the things I've tried to combat in my blog is the notion that journalists are arrogant and unconcerned with the readership.
Tags: Arrogant, Tried, TryIf President Bush is serious about genocide, an immediate priority is to stop the cancer of Darfur from spreading further, which means working with France to shore up Chad and the Central African Republic.
Tags: Means, Serious, WorkingOne of the things that really got to me was talking to parents who had been burned out of their villages, had family members killed, and then when men showed up at the wells to get water, they were shot.
Tags: Family, Men, ParentsThe north of the Central African Republic is now a war zone, with rival armed bands burning villages, kidnapping children, robbing travelers and killing people with impunity.
Tags: Bands, Children, WarThe photos were taken by African Union soldiers. People in Congress saw them. I thought if people could see them, there would be public outcry. No one would be able to say, We just didn't know what was going on there.
Tags: Able, Public, ThoughtThe U.N. Population Fund has a maternal health program in some Cameroon hospitals, but it doesn't operate in this region. It's difficult to expand, because President Bush has cut funding.
Tags: Difficult, Health, PresidentThere are other issues I have felt more emotionally connected to, like China, where I lived and worked for some time. I was living there when Tiananmen Square erupted.
Tags: Felt, Living, TimeThere is an element of anger among women who've been raped. There's certainly a major element of humiliation. But it really does seem like a medical condition of shock and horror.
Tags: Anger, Medical, WomenThere isn't a political price to be paid yet for doing nothing. People need to get upset with President Bush. People need to get upset with their Congressmen.
Tags: Paid, Political, PresidentThere seems to be this sense among even well-meaning Americans that Africa is this black hole of murder and mutilation that can never be fixed, no matter what aid is brought in.
Tags: Black, Matter, SenseYou would see people going back to homes that had been burned, putting thatch over their structures again. They still couldn't leave the area without the danger of men being killed or women being raped, but it was a start.
Tags: Men, Start, WomenHalf a million women die each year around the world in pregnancy. It's not biology that kills them so much as neglect.
Tags: Die, Women, YearYou will be judged in years to come by how you responded to genocide on your watch.
Tags: Genocide, Judged, WatchThe news media's silence, particularly television news, is reprehensible. If we knew as much about Darfur as we do about Michael Jackson, we might be able to stop these things from continuing.
Tags: Able, Might, SilenceA few countries like Sri Lanka and Honduras have led the way in slashing maternal mortality.
Tags: Countries, Few, MortalityAll of a sudden their husband's dead and maybe a child is dead and they have absolutely nothing - and they're heading through the desert at night.
Tags: Child, Husband, NightEvery year 3.1 million Indian children die before the age of 5, mostly from diseases of poverty like diarrhea.
Tags: Age, Children, DieI think it's dangerous to be optimistic. Things could go terribly wrong virtually overnight.
