The U.S wouldn't go there because they have nothing to gain. It would be even more fruitless than going into Iraq with much of the same consequences or worse.
And the problem with the Sudan is that it isn't mainstream enough unlike for example the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Maybe 40 more years of hatred and killings will spawn some action, but for now their conflict is still rather minor league compared to the big boys conflicts, at least in the media eyes and for those who think some lives, or lives lost , are more important than others..

Might not be 40 years, but 14 years of persecution and genocide by Muslims in the North of the Christians/pagan "africans" in the south is pretty bad. 2 million people dead plus one of the world's most active slave trades.
Reading up on this, one points to the power of Arab oil. People are horrified by a Palestinian death and it warrants an emergency UN meeting. 50 people can at the same time be murdered, gang raped, and abducted by Arab militia's and you
might see something about it.
