George Clooney's Plea for Darfur

He’s no stranger to humanitarian efforts, and George Clooney is once again using his celebrity for a good cause.

The “Ocean’s Eleven” stud gave an interview on the “Today” show this morning in which he called for diplomacy efforts in Darfur to help prevent more genocide.

Clooney explained, “I think it can be stopped. We stopped [the previous Darfur conflict] in 2005 with diplomacy. We didn’t stop it with soldiers. So, yes, if we get involved now, we have a shot.”

"It doesn't matter what I believe, because obviously I'm an actor. The Secretary of State said it's a ticking time bomb. The CIA said this is the next genocide if we're not careful – it is the biggest risk. The president has said as much. Everyone acknowledges that this is what is going to take place if someone doesn't moderate and mediate. … I'm just trying to say it as loud as possible."
