DARFUR: A TEST FOR LEFTIES

Arnold Ahlert
NEW YORK POST
Opinion
September 20, 2006

LIBERALS like George Clooney may be faced with a genuine dilemma regarding American interventionism.

Last Thursday, a well-meaning Clooney asked the United Nations to stop the slaughter in Darfur. Given that body's ineptitude and lethargy, it's highly unlikely to send troops to replace the 7,000 African Union peacekeepers whose mandate ends this month. Some 200,000 are already dead; 2.5 million more could follow.

We have another genocide like Rwanda on the horizon. And there is only one entity realistically capable of putting a stop to it: the United States military.

National or strategic interests? Zero. Liberal reaction on American interventionism in the Middle East - where we have vital national and strategic interests? Unrelenting excoriation of the Bush administration.

What to do, Mr. Clooney, what to do?
