Worse, all the horrors that we've already seen in Darfur may be remembered only as the prelude. Security in the region is deteriorating, African Union peacekeepers are becoming targets, and the U.N. has warned that if humanitarian agencies are forced out, the death toll may rise to 100,000 per month. Just as dangerous, the government-supported janjaweed — the brutal militia responsible for the slaughter — is now making regular raids across the border into Chad. There is a growing risk that Chad will collapse into war as well, hugely increasing the death toll and spreading chaos across a much larger region. So let's see.. Now we're supposed to place troops in Sudan. I wonder if we'll find any WMD's there? They think it's expensive rebuilding Iraq, I can only imagine how expensive it's going to be going into Africa to rebuild that country.. Not that I'm opposed to ending this genocide in Darfur. It's just that I find it odd how dethroning a genocidal tyrant like Saddam is bad, but going in and doing the same thing in Sudan is good. Hawk
