How do the same people who want US out of Iraq, justify US in Darfur?\n\nI agree that Darfur is tragic, but how do you justify it?  There is at least a reasonable link between fighting terrorism in Iraq, and half of the US doesn't consider stopping terrorism a reasonable justification to go to war.

It deals with genocide (The Holocaust) which is still taking place in the world currently in the country of Sudan see www.savedarfur.org for more info.

This has been going on for a good 10-15 years now. However the persecuted are poor Black Christians. The persecuters are generally of Arabic descent and Islamic. Sudan being one of the few Arab nations not mass producing terrorists. \n\nKind of a touchy political situation. The pacifists here don't want us to use our Military at all. The racists don't care because the victems are Black. The Islamic factions will see it as another attack on their religion. Christians have been asking the US to intercede for a decade now. \n\nThe Islamic nations will be up in arms if we use the military in Sudan. We might alienate Egypt as well as facing miitary aid to Sudan from other Islamic nations. \n\nAfrica is touchy about the US being on the continent. Somolia and Nigeria both Islamic or headed by Islamics would be very likely to aid Sudan despite the victems being almost all Black. Other African non-Islamic nations might be hostile over US intervention. \n\nWhat would we do with the refugees? What nation will accept them? We cannot bring peace to Sudan without splitting it into two nations. The Islamics will not tolerate another religioun. You will be seeing the same kind of war in Nigeria soon. If we step into Sudan we'll be drawn into Nigeria's cival war as well. \n\nOn the flip side we have troops nearby who could easily be diverted. We could save thousands of lives with minimal effort. \n\nSudan's gov is not an ally or friendly to the US. Sudan has been used as a base for terrorist ops and many terrorists may have found sancuary there who have been run out of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. \n\nI think the better option is to lean on some African powers to help get Sudan devided into two nations. African troops will be better recieved and deviding into seperate nations will likely bring about a long term peace. The US can provide air support and remove segments of the Sudanese military machine. After that any African army would have an easy time of moving in and securing the area I think. I am opposed to ground troops and I don't feel that the US could absorb the Sudanese refugees at this time. The economic costs would make Katrina rebuilding seem cheap. With hurricane season rolling around again and likely to produce one or two more Katrinas, a struggling US economy and our current issues Sudanese refugess would just be more than we could handle. At least that many of them. We are talking about a quarter of a nations population. Millions who are in peril. There just is not a place or money in the US for all those people. I think the Suandanse Christan's and the world in general would be better off producing a South Sudan and North Sudan. The Christians in the South and Muslims in the North. \n\nIt's also time to formulate what we will do when Nigeria boils over. It won't be more than 5 years before this happens unless something changes soon.

I am very concerned about this subject and have emailed Bush and my state reps.  I also joined savedarfur.  Here is the latest info I received.  Hope this helps!\n\nsome exciting news: Academy-award winner George Clooney will speak at the Save Darfur Rally to Stop Genocide in Washington, D.C., on April 30!\n\nClooney and his father, Nick, just returned on Sunday from a fact-finding trip to the Darfur region.  They now know from first-hand evidence how dire the situation in Darfur has become.  Hundreds of thousands have been killed and nearly one-third of the population of Darfur has been displaced.  And the world simply watches and waits.\n\nWe must show President Bush and other world leaders that the time to act is now!\n\nIf you can't make it to Washington there are many other rallies in other parts of the country all with goal of drawing attention to the tragic Darfur genocide.\n\n\nWe have collected hundreds of thousands of postcards.  Now we must show our will through sheer numbers.  The Rally to Stop Genocide will be a huge gathering of people from all over the country – and the world – who are committed to ending the genocide in Darfur.  \n\n\nThank you, \n\nDavid Rubenstein\nSave Darfur Coalition\n\nP.S. George Clooney will appear on the Oprah show tomorrow, Wednesday the 26th, to talk about his trip and the situation in Darfur.  Visit Oprah.com for more information and please tune in.

1.  Write to your congressperson about getting them help.  (I write to mine about Darfur)\n\n2.  Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper to help enlighten people about how much they need help.\n\n3.  Find a good organization that helps people.  You can donate to Amnesty International right over the net.  If you're a christian, you might prefer World Vision.

I don't know where you are living, maybe Iraq or Darfur or something. America doesn't have any problems like that. The present Government is just full of criminals right now. They will be dealt with Democratically. The Congress will change in November just watch. The Republicans have had their run since 96 in Congress, and they messed it all up. It's their failure.

Sadly, I don't think the U.S. has an official position on the situation in the Congo.  In some respects, it is understandable that other areas would gain our focus right now, but I think our foreign policy has suffered recently, because of that.

Likely, unfortunately. Unless there is outside intervention, Darfur will (it already has) spilled over into Chad.\n\nhttp://www.civilrights.org/issues/human/details.cfm?id=41413

I don't agree on any country turning their backs on another holocaust (that is what is happening in Darfur). As the most powerful nations we owe it to help these people get out of the suffering and torture. If we turn our heads away we are no different than those who torture because we see it and did nothing. We cannot afford to do nothing and say we are fighting for peace and stabilization in Iraq.

Yeh, right !\nLet Sudan worry about catching these guys, we have enough to look after besides fussing over other countrys.  I'm sure they are on the Watch List and our government will take care of these bad guys.

Let someone else, preferably their own CONTINENT, help Dafur.  We have some things to work on in America.  I do not want the Democrats raising my taxes and we need to fix up the south from Katrina.\n\nFor those of you who WILL say - What about Iraq?  WE WERE ATTACKED BY THE TERRORISTS WHO TRAIN AND LIVE THERE and in the MIDDLE EAST.

It has stiffed the US's power.  Nearly every nation fears following the US on any initiative.  Hence we have genocide in Africa while the world watches and the US stands alone trying to drum up support for the African people.

Uh, yeah!\n\nIt was genocide, it is still happening, but the US Government will never apologize becuase they dont/wont ever believe that what they did to us was/is wrong.\n\nNot killing brain cells holding my breath on this one
