I’ve already been exposed to quite a bit of Olympic buzz and it’s only January.  From the Olympiad rings that float below NBC’s logo on TV to discussions of whether amputees with prosthetics should be allowed to compete, there’s been a lot of talk.  However, leave it to Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times (recently returned from a five-month book leave) to use that buzz to put some focus back on Darfur.

In his second column since his leave, Kristof points out China’s responsibility for the genocide in Darfur and highlights an international campaign, one that most likely will find its way onto college campuses where Darfur activism abounds, is labeling this year’s summer Olympics in Beijing “The Genocide Olympics.”
