"More than 30,000 black Sudanese in the province of Darfur are believed to have been murdered or starved by Arab militias in the past year, and thousands have been raped or tortured. Nearly a million refugees have fled to camps in Darfur or in neighboring Chad. Now the rainy season is beginning, and a top U.N. official estimates that if significant aid does not arrive soon, the death toll may quickly jump to 300,000.

"The United States should insist that the Security Council demand unrestricted access for humanitarian missions and authorize a peacekeeping force, for which it should urge European and African nations to provide soldiers.

"The world has lived with guilt too often after rampages of mass murder that could have been prevented. Sudan should not be added to this shameful list."

These seem to be some of the reasons why we went into iraq to help out the people, why is it that we are not sending troops there to help out? We seem to be pushing the UN to help out here, but if they are taking there time, like we felt they did in Iraq, why don;t we go into the sudan to help them out?

p.s.....my apologies for the last thread, i was a little rattled. this one is edited for my flaming!!
