Here's an interesting follow-up on Sudan from the Post.

<<In a civil war that seems to be fueled by so much -- religion, for example, because one side is Muslim and the other side is not, and race, because one side is Arab and the other African -- nothing has supercharged the fighting in southern Sudan quite like Nile Blend crude.>>

he probably killed fewer people than a single raid on
Germany in WW II, and certainly nothing compared to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.


If you view his "war" as being as justified as WWII then maybe you have a point but I don't.

As for Nagasaki and Hiroshima they where not the most distructive events in WWII. The fire bombing of Tokyo killed more people, and Dresden and Hamburg probably killed less but much more then a small fraction of the atomic bombs drops. The Tokyo attack was over a two day period with a lot of planes and it did not kill a lot more then the atomic bomb drops but it did kill more.
