We need to put US troops in Sudan

[mburbank]

I'm just about the last person to favor a robust military force, but I have come to believe we need troops on the groud with authorization to act in Sudan. We need to put them between the peoplke of Darfur and the Janjaweed and we need to try to stop the genocide.

Why are we still talking about sanctions and waiting on the U.N.? As a country we have shown we have the stomach for unilateral action, so why not here?

Right now our soldiers are dying in Iraq trying to set up a democracy. Why we went is questionable, if we should have gone at all is questionable and wether what we are doing is worth dieing for is questionable. In Iraq at this point it's hard to say if we've made things better or worse.

None of those things are questionable in Darfur.

I'm not looking for the typical 'they have no oil' 'they're black' response, lthough I think those things do factor in. I'm looking to see if anyone here can see any moral or strategic reason to continue to let this happen.
