I don't really know anything about this, but I'm just wondering why we're not doing anything about the genocide in Darfur? Do we just not care or are we doing something??

USMCDevilDog said:Whoa, ok so as the U.S. shouldn't we challenge this and take them the fuck out? I mean shit, if France and the UN is supporting genocide then they're just as bad as Hitler himself. Why the hell don't we challenge this "attitude" towards this shit? It's ridiculous.

I blame the AU, especially SA.

They opposed is invading Iraq why? Because they had under-the-table deals with Saddam that would be jeopardized by the invasion, and basically went out the window when we did.
France has financial interests in Sudan, that would be jeopardized by action against the current government. So, France is willing to turn a blind eye to genocide for financial gain, and thwart any UN effort to intervene.
That doesn't make it "all France's fault." It's primarily the fault of, and being carried out by a typical extremist Islamic government against people who stand in their way and don't believe what they tell them they should.

Why should we? What US national interest is at stake in Darfur?
Oh, and Semper Fi

Tell me how you're going to get out before you get in.
Semper Fi said:While I consider genocide and oppression as two unforgivable acts, I do believe the action should be in the hands of the UN. They failed to do anything, and now they've got blood on their hands.
What we're asking for by going into Sudan is a situation much like Iraq, but much worse. God knows we couldn't leave Sudan without making it a democracy, which means staying there for decades while popular support dwindles.
So, I say let it be on the UN's conscience.
sorenmk2 said:I agree. We can't find our way out of South Korea. We can't find our way out of Kosovo. We can't find our way out of Afghanistan. We can't find our way out of Iraq. I'd like those who want to send our forces into yet another third world hell-hole how they plan to get out before they get in. That's not too much to ask.
Sure seems to be a lot of Marines around here. I got out in 1971. Semper Fi, Jarheads.
