Darfur

Archbio, regardless of whether or not Iraq is justified, we are tied down in that country. It is eating up our manpower, money, and attention. Even if it *is* the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, we are there. We don't have the resources to be everywhere at the same time. That is my point. Other countries who aren't fighting any wars could easily gather together some troops and send them to Sudan.


The UN is content to sit by and allow genocide to carry on. In Sierra Leone when the RUF rebels were killing 10,000 people with dull machete blades the UN made it a point not to use the word "genocide" in their meetings because that would require them to take action. They stayed silent -> people were murdered. The only thing that saved the people of that country was actually a 60-man American mercenary unit that literally fought a war for a price and won. After that group had stabilized the country the UN forced them out and spend 50 times as much money with 20 times as many people on the ground and the UN couldn't stop the violence from starting back up.
