Below the radar

Genocide in Darfur, what are we doing about it? Or more precisely, what can we all do? How about a quick note to your Senator? I'm off to write mine now.

See, we're still involved in a country where the government decided to jump in and 'help'. I'd rather not spend billions more dealing with 'helping' another country. And do you really think any other country in the world would accept the US's 'help' in anything?

I admit. It's a bad thing that's happening, but I'm really of the mindset, lately, that we need to keep our noses out of everyone else's shit and deal with our own problems for a while.

I dunno', I think there are ways we could be pressuring the government of the Sudan to put a stop to this that don't involve direct military intervention. Of course that would require that our government stop spending all its time trying to build up the case to invade Iran/Syria this summer...

Or quietly and under the radar trying to rake up trouble elsewhere:

The final paragraph is the kicker. This admin sure loves to label other countries.
