NorthSideSox72 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Um, yes. Unfortunately, or military is too busy fighting us out of the sixth crusade in Iraq to do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, or military is too busy fighting us out of the sixth crusade in Iraq to do anything about it. And unfortunately, the U.N. doesn't have the balls to do anything about it either.

That too. I was thinking after I typed my response, I should have added that as well. It is not solely the job of the U.S. to deal with these things.

southsider2k5 Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm glad to see I am not the only one who feels this way about the Sudan. As usual, nothing is being said about this because it is in Africa. I found this on MSNBC, not in the headlines, but under the section for newsweek articles. Of course when it should be trumpeded around the world to appeal for a stop to the violence, the headlines are all about Bush v Powell and Ney's guilt. Sad.

longshot7 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 It looks like I'm in the minority, but so what? Unless the US is being directly threatened in this conflict, we should not be involved. Same goes for Iraq. We are not the World's Policeman.

How about the human race going to help other humans who are being slaughtered? When humans sit idly by and watch other defenseless humans being slaughtered, that is the beginning of the end. One thing that elevates humans past animals is empathy. Most humans have the ability to separate right from wrong. This is not a civil war, this is most analogous to cattle being slaughtered.
