Re: 300,000 dead in Sudan. Why aren\'t we liberating them?
I am obviously referring to the Sudanese who are alive and suffering.
Sorry, I don't see the need for grammatical humor when we are talking about human genocide.

Maybe because you are fighting another war.

Re: 300,000 dead in Sudan. Why aren\'t we liberating them?
Are they a threat to their neighbors, could they destabilize the region, cause econimic turmoil though out the world, do they have a history of aggression and conflict with the US?
These things are not black and white. It is a tragedy though and it would be nice if the UN would actually do something productive for once.

The UN has actually worked in several decades in Sudan and saved a lot of people, US on the other hand??????

[/ QUOTE ] It is referred to as Liberation Iraqi freedom (or whatever BS it was labeled, no?) And the whole region is f'ed up, nothing to do with Iraq, and no to all your other questions. We have been given two reasons: 1) Iraq was a threat to the US (we all know it was not true) 2) Liberating them from a Sadam's reign of terror The world economy has never been brought into it, and as I have said in previous posts, I would support a war for oil if the US said it was necessary for the survival of our country. A history of aggression means nothing also, see Libya. I want to know why a genocide is occuring (plus massive rapes and imprisonment of young women for being adulterous as a result of these rapes) and the US isn't batting a goddamn eye. If we want to be the world police then we need to be the world police. If we want to do things based upon our own agenda, fine, just say so. I don't like being lied to.

However, the conservatives in the US are intent upon destroying the UN. As the UN has slowly lost power, they have lost their ability to act in situations like this. Good thing the US appointed UN person will help... Oh wait, he doesn't believe in the UN, now does he?

I don't like being lied to. [/ QUOTE ] You are being lied to, it is what the rest of the world has discovered, and this is why the relationship between US and many other countries has become so tense. A lot of countries actually try to build a better world, as naive as it might seem.
