O'Reilly: If you want to defend traditional values, come with me to Darfur
Op-Ed Columnist
A Challenge for Bill O'Reilly

By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: December 18, 2005
Let us all pray for Bill O'Reilly.

So I have a challenge for Mr. O'Reilly: If you really want to defend traditional values, then come with me on a trip to Darfur. I'll introduce you to mothers who have had their babies clubbed to death in front of them, to teenage girls who have been gang-raped and then mutilated - and to the government-armed thugs who do these things.

You'll have to leave your studio, Bill. You'll encounter pure evil. If you're like me, you'll be scared. If you try to bully some of the goons in Darfur, they'll just hack your head off. But you'll also meet some genuine conservative Christians - aid workers who live the Gospel instead of sputtering about it - and you'll finally be using your talents for an important cause.

So, Bill, what'll it be? Will you dare travel to a real war against Christmas values, in which the victims aren't offended shoppers but terrified children thrown on bonfires? I'm waiting to hear.

2. So what's his excuse this time?
My guess:
I really, really want to go to Darfur but my boss does not allow me to go overseas anymore.
