There are French troops and African Union troops on the ground under the UN

Say what? There are a few humanitarian efforts on the ground, which we're supporting very multilaterally at the UN. How is that in any way to France's benefit but not to ours? Was the French FM calling it "geneocide" in Darfur and demanding action?

~if you're of benefit to the US you're permitted to rape, torture, displace, and murder as many people and in any way you want

Sudan is of no benefit to the US. We don't support them, we don't agree with them, they're on our sh-tlist as terror-supporters. Yet somehow, their ethnic cleansing campaign has become our fault, through some very strange logic, whose conclusion is always, it's the US' fault. If we act, we're bad. If we go multilateral and nothing much happens, we're bad. And naturally, if we act unilaterally, we're very very bad, because the dictator was our fault and how dare we remove him?
