Drink Coke? Stop Saying There's Genocide in Dafur

When I first heard that Sudan had threatened to cut off the world's supply of Coca-Cola I thought it must be some kind of joke. Sadly, it doesn't look like that's the case. The ambassador, John Ukec Lueth Ukec, spent an hour denying the killing that is going on in Dafur. He claims that there is nothing wrong going on, and that his country is actually building the world's best democracy. Johnny said that the U.S. is the only country in the world that claims there is genocide happening, and that the sanctions imposed must stop. His threat if the U.S. doesn't back off? Sudan will stop the export of gum arabic, which is required in the production of Coca-Cola. His country accounts for 80% of the world's supply. I guess that they have us beat. How can we survive without our Coke?
