I have a bit of interest in the conflict -- I think it is odd how they massacre each other endlessly over religious and ethnic strife.

You know, the US and other G8ers all responded to the conflicts earlier in the year by convening a UN meeting that meant essentially nothing --- perhaps the UN actually cannot work miracles? Who would have thought.

We are needed in Sudan, but to have pretended that we were not needed in Iraq is absurd -- it is not as if Iraq or Sudan can really be prioritized properly being that they are both entirely different situations..

In a way, I do see what you are saying.
