If the US says that they are going into Iraq to free their people from tyranny and brutalization, then should they not do the same for Sudan, if what you say that there is slavery over there? I call this double standard. It has nothing to do what my view is on the Iraqi attack. That is insane, Chinu. We cannot launch campaigns in every misbegotten ruined country in the world. We cannot. We have to pick and choose. Naturally, we are going to consider our own interests when doing so. That is not a double standard, it is just sense. As such, it has EVERYTHING to do with your view on the Iraqi attack, which boils down to "everything the US does is wrong, all the time, no matter what" BTW, you still haven't said whether you would actually APPROVE an altruistic invasion of Sudan to improve the appalling human rights situation there? Should the US army move in to end the Sudanese slave trade or not? Or should it refrain and not "impose our system"? You have to choose one side or the other, you know. Sometimes in this life, you have to be FOR a course of action.
