Funnily enough, I agree. Not a US-only war, but a "humanitarian intervention" from the UN, without a doubt.

Like what happened in the Balkans, except it was NATO then. Like what we should've done in Rwanda.

The only problem is that after Iraq, no one will want to go into one of these wars for quite a while. The interntioanl political capital for war has been spent, and it'll take a while to build it up again.

I think is a place that grows some killer janja weed... or something

For the record, Darfur has been #12 on my list of "places kao would hit with multiple nuclear weapons in the event he was named supreme world dictator for life" for the last 5 years. Who keeps giving those ******** mortars anyways?

Yeah, we have been for years. didn't you get the memo?

Remember the maine!

Civil war isn't something that the place is unaccustomed to. It's probably waht is needed. Just about every country has had a civil war. It's the churning of the scocieties until it all balances out and things come out for the better. If the nation needs to be split into North/South Arab/African then so be it.
I'd say it beats government sanctioned systematic rape and annihilation of citizenry. This isn'y like sitting back watching kids work out their differences fighting over a toy.. this is just plain animal slaughter.
were it a country that simply had some armies fighting over a government or power I would say otherwise; however I have never really been able to comprehend ethnic cleansing.. like with ***** or Milosovic; I can only conclude that things like that are really the things that organizations like the UN SHOULD get militarily involved with instead of people squabbling over resources.

how ewe figger ol'boy?

I'm not talking about dropping bombs all over the place like pussies. I mean get guys in there to physically stop the ****.

That's why I specified the Government of Sudan. I don't know how it would be accomplished; but waht would you suggest?

Correct.

Nor was there Civil War in Iraq.

Add the Magic Ingredient of "A Foreign Army" and hey presto, more GI's trapped in another major clusterfUck.

Like Kosovo?

Exactly.

They're extermist Islamists in Darfur, even more reason to bomb them.

The problem is that no one likes to intervene for purely "humanitarian purposes". There is no real security/economic risks in Darfur. Only black people dying. And, as we've seen in Rwanda, it takes more than that for Western nations to intervene.

Not only that, but with US troops stuck in Iraq, in Afghanistan, with NK testing bombs and Iran being naughty, Darfur is back at the bottom of the pile. It'll be another Rwanda.

In other news, Extremist Islamists are apparently close to taking over Somalia, and might just turn it into a new Talibanesque Islamist-state. Of course, Ethiopia is tempted to delare war on them, albeit half-heartedly.

Please do yourself a favour and saw your hands offs.

Ever heard of the ban on veils in schools France? Did you know that it is illegal in Turkey for women to wear the veil in all public spaces, including at Uni? Do you have any idea of what goes on around you before you spout your ignorant bile?

Obviously not.



The UN peacekeepers are not in Darfur, it's the African Union's. And would care to show something to back your last statement, or are we supposed to take your word for it?

I, for one, would love to see evidence of those peacekeepers practicing mass rape of children, of raiding villages in the middle of the night, setting them on fire, and them gunning down anyone who tries to flee. I would love you to show me evidence of peacekeepers practicing government-backed ethnic cleansing.
