Quite a number of loud voices have argued that the US (and the UN) should be doing more, much, much more in Darfur. The Darfur region in western Sudan is a complete mess; a humanitarian disaster. Much like Iraq is today....
So if we should be pulling out of Iraq, why should we be going into Darfur?
The answer might lay partly in the fact that going into Darfur would be a multinational UN force. But that worries me a great deal. The mess in Isreal/Lebanon with Hesbolah showed that the UN is enimic, ploggingly slow, and nothing more that than the apogee of a poweless buraucracy. The fact is that the UN should have acted STRONGLY maybe as early as 2004.
Certainly the US is in no position to open a third front.
At this point all I can do is ask the questions; I have no ready answers.
