If you like Iraq and Aghanistan, you'll love Darfur

A few days ago, a rebel group in Darfur (not the rebel group since there are several) overran an African Union peacekeeping camp, immediately killing ten and taking others who have not been found and are probably dead. Later, the Sudanese government forces retook the camp and, in a show of solidarity with UA, looted it.

We decided to bring economic revival and political freedom to Afghanistan, after rooting out its old government. President Karzai is now ready to talk to Mullah Omar of the Taliban to end the escalating violence.

We decided to bring economic revival and political freedom to Iraq, after rooting out its old government. We're going to have troops there for ten years and anyone who thinks we'll leave a democracy in place deserves a drug test.

People keep telling us that if we have any moral fiber at all, we'll rush to the help of the defenseless souls in Darfur, in order to ...

Exactly what?

The only plus for Darfur is that it is already in the midst of a civil war, so we couldn't be accused of having started one. It's pretty cold comfort.
