That's tragic but we shouldn't intervene in every countries internal problems. Why aren't we in Sudan right now stopping the senseless and horrific slaughter, rape & pillaging of innocent unarmed defenseless civilians???

In Sudan, Militiamen on Horses Uproot a Million by MARC LACEY
Published: May 4, 2004

YALA, Sudan, May 2 — Hawa Muhammad, 15, lost just about everything when the men on horseback came. They took her family's horses, donkeys and small herd of goats and sheep. They took her cooking pots and her clothing. They took her mother and her father, too.

"The men on horses killed my parents," she said, referring to the Janjaweed, loose bands of Arab fighters. "Then the planes came."

Now it is she to whom her six younger sisters turn when their bellies rumble. She recounted her tale as if in a trance.

Fatima Ishag Sulieman, 25, did not have time to get away. She was in bed when the Janjaweed moved in. Two men entered her hut. They hit her, then they raped her in front of her family.

Oh, they're just poor black people who don't have any oil reserves, why help them. No reason since it doesn't promote the financial interests of Bush's billionaire puppetmasters.

The Iraqi government was in shambles and would've crumbled of its own weight soon. Any competent career member of the CIA or State Department familiar with Mideast affairs could've told you that. Unfortunately decisions to kill civilians in mass are made by the stupid political hacks of the Bush administration.
