Nicholas Kristof’s blog

The New York Times Nicholas D. Kristof considers his ongoing discussion with readers on his message board a Weblog. At the end of a recent column about the North Korean nuclear weapons, he writes: “After my reports from Africa about ethnic cleansing in the Darfur region of Sudan, many readers have asked what they can do. I’ve put some possibilities on my blog, www.nytimes.com/kristofresponds, in Posting No. 344.”

It’s great to see Times’ columnists referring to their blogs in print.

    Nicholas,
    Your comparisons of the “Bush League” with “Moby Dick” and the Peloponnesian War are right on, but I have a question for you.

    Have you ever entertained the possibility that our ill-advised excursion into Iraq was programmed to fail?

    Perhaps we sent too few troops into Iraq on purpose to ensure our continued presence for many years to come? Time to build permanent bases, a billion dollar, 108 acre “embassy”, and to maintain American troops in the Middle East well into the future.

    After all, what good would it do Bush’s political and energy interests if he met with quick success, followed by an “untimely” withdrawal and leaving the Iraqis and the rest of the Muslim world to determine their own destiny?

    It should be readily apparent to any close observer that the Iraq War has nothing to do with the Iraqis. Surely no intelligent person thinks either Bush or Cheney lay awake nites worrying about democracy in Iraq. They don’t seem much worried about it in this country.

    So, in their weird and whacky way, the “Bush League” might, by their interests, be waging a most successful conflict.

    Maybe our “white whale” is in the White House.

    Nicholas Kristof made of of the absolute stupidest comments I have ever heard a human being make.
    In one of yoru columns, you made one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard in my entire life.
    In one of his NY Times columns he said it was up to the Indians who was allowed into the USA, not white Americans.
    Uh, it was White Americans who created the USA, not Indians. Hispanicks aren’t paying their life savings to be sneaked into Inuit society in Canada. It’s the society the Anglos created that they want into.

    Dear Mister KRISTOF ,

    I try to send you on your mail address on NYTIMES but my mail have failed thus I hope in this way to contact you !

    I saw your report in France on the terrible genocide in the DARFOUR and thank you for all your articles denouncing these atrocities. I hope that we shall manage to stop as quickly as possible these exactions and that all the people in charge will be judged.
    After Darfour I am anxious to announce you that Kosovo know the same road of atrocity!

    For several years 250 000 persons were hunted and today Kosovo is almost “Ethically pure”!!!

    We always fought against the terrorism in this world, we make distinctions between the good and the evil and now we allow terrorists to govern! Just let us take the example of Agim Ceku one of the main things responsible for the Kosovard guerrilla warfare which today is a powerful politician of Kosovo: a man who has some blood on hands instead of being judged for his crimes we make him a promotion! It’s crazy!
    In that case why Bin Laden can’t do the same? Let govern the terrorists! Mister Ceku is not different from Bin Laden.

    8 years after the intervention of the NATO, the situation is catastrophic:

    ? Since 1999, about 250 000 non-Albanian ran away or were hunted by Kosovo. The majority are taken refuge in the rest of Serbia
    ? More civilians of any communities of any ages were murdered by the UCK !
    ? Numerous orthodox monasteries, among which some of big historic value were plundered, 4 subscribers in the Heritage of UNESCO
    ? The non Albanian populations of Kosovo are parked in ghettos and threatened in their physical integrity when they go out of it unprotected armed with the KFOR

    The Right of the Man and the citizen that the Big countries in this World defend:” All the men are born free and equal «are ignored here. Some lives in the current world have more importances than the others. Do you find it normal?

    I fight not only for the Serbs but also for all the peoples who wish to live in harmony and in peace! If Kosovo becomes independent only the Albanians can live there freely and all which stays of our Serbian cultural or religious heritage will disappear little by little.

    I regrettably have neither power nor influence in this world, I have only my faith and my hands to write you what people feel! I am only a citizen who fights for the freedom, the equality, and the justice. I want to believe that today there is another justice, good men and I hope of any heart that you can help us.

    I m sorry for my English which is not very correct.

    Thank you so much at this to take time to read my letter and thank you in advance for you help.

    Best regards,

    Radmila

    I too have had trouble e-mailing you through the NYTimes web site. I want to thasnk you for your article on a freer discussion of Israel, March 18th. Although my local newspaper is owned by the NY Times, they did not pick it up. Hwever it was circulated in the Internet. Thanks for a prize-winning column.

    I am a photographer who just returned from Darfur, Sudan. I am in complete agreement with your latest article, “Save the pitiful puppy of Darfur.” I am publishing a book in July that shows the faces of Darfur and tells the stories of individuals. ALL of the profit from the book is going to go back to Sudan. You can read more about the book project at http://www.silentimages.org. I pray that the individual stories will move hearts to help Sudan!

    Thank you so much for reporting on the current situation in the DRC. I was fascinated with your interview with the warlord, Nkunda, and wondered how difficult it was to get meet him. Did you travel to the Ituri? I am going there in September and wondered how safe you felt in the Congo? Thank you.
