    Oh, this gets me sooooo mad.

    I swear, if they'd mobilize me now to go there, as a part of Israeli force, I'd go. BUT THEY WON'T.


    ... sigh.

          I wish I knew more about the effectiveness of the African Union, but alas I do not. However, they are attempting to contain the problem.

            Flip reason: Sudan has no oil.
            Wrong. In spades.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              I've never been very comfortable with Bush's freedom rhetoric, but I wish that he'd be at least uniform in its application. Tell me, where is the freedom in the Sudan? How can we attack Iraq because he was brutally oppressing some in his country, and yet ignore Sudan where genocide is ongoing? After Rwanda, the international reaction was, "never again." Well, it is happening again, and Congress has recognized it. And yet Bush has backtracked. It is no longer a genocide. Only 60K people have died there...

              If Bush wants to be a moral president, he must act in Darfur.

                Unlikely to happen.

                From its seat on the United Nations Security Council, China has been Sudan's chief diplomatic ally. In recent months, the council has neared votes on a series of resolutions aimed at pressuring Sudan's predominantly Arab government to protect the African tribes under attack in Darfur and stop support for militias by threatening to sanction its oil sales. China has threatened to veto such actions while watering down the threat of oil sanctions.
