What, then Douglas, is the solution? Should they follow your prescription for the country of Sudan and forget about the pipeline project? Let's also forget about helping Sudan develop their other known minerals. We can NOT continue to export food via air-o-plane to Sudan through the rest of the milennia. What long term benefits does this result in? Another Welfare state? The Sudanese people need, first, the means by which to develop their vast quantity of potential underground wealth. Good for Arakis for being brave enough to enter this situation and offer their expertise! The Canadian press should be congratulating Arakis for their deeds.

Douglas, your knowledge about the region is great and your zeal for the welfare of the Sudanese people is commendable. But, don't you think it is better to teach people to tie their own shoes than to always tie their shoes for them forever end of day? Please! Let's be reasonable!

The civil war is occurring because the Sudanese people are impoverished. Why not teach them to make wealth? Let the rewards of this learning then spill over into educational and other supportive U.N. reforms.
