Divided movement or the ingredients of a peace deal?

On Wednesday, May 30, activist John Prendergast and academic Alex de Waal came together at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum to debate the question of: What To Do About Darfur?

While many expected sparks to fly between two differing viewpoints, only one question seemed to remain unanswered: to what extent must we use military action to impose cost on the Sudanese government and thus end the genocide in Darfur?

For Martha's evaluation and notes, see Lives in the Balance. The transcript of the debate will soon be posted on the Committee on Conscience analysis page.
