Your post is a good one but basically you are suggesting that random movements are not predictable

Random movements are not predictable that's why we call them "random".

You leave out "emotion".

That's one of the more unpredictable elements in the equation. How someone behaves at any particular moment in time is not predictable.

Genocide in Sudan area - look at the waffling in Rwanda.

Bush says he is doing something? I commend Powell for taking a stand but everyone else is afraid of stepping on foreign or US toes now after Iraq.

Which goes to show you haven't predicted accurately. <s>

I've seen a number of people claiming that nothing is happening with respect Sudan. No African countries are addressing the problem nor is the UN doing anything. The facts are that there are 5 African countries that have set up refeguee camps, French troops are on the ground at one of them protecting the refugees. The African Union has sent troops into Darfur and the UN just authorized another 1,000 [?] AU troops to enter. You don't see that in the American news [maybe on page 93B] because it doesn't involve the US.

What you are not grasping is that we are a very divided nation along a middle.

That's a factor that does affect decision making. Which "half" does the President swing with. Is it equally likely that Bush or Clinton will make the same decision regardless of what their political bases are.

I discovered something rather fascinating while I was living in England. The US population, by and large, considers the US action in Somalia as a failure; the rest of the world, by and large, considers it a US success.

What my position is that if things were different [which includes people] then things would be different and we don't know and can't know how different. Your position is that if things were different than things would be the same.
