When whitefolks react negatively to entering something that may be a more clear quagmire than iraq was, then some of these folks can charge racism. Full circle is full circle.

Well Mike.. I think it's a tough decision. I don't want to see genocide either. And I think it was still a tremendous tragedy that the previous administration failed to prevent what occurred in Ruwanda. But then again, we didn't prevent Cambodia's Killing Fields either..

And we're not going to get a handle on this Al Qai'da terrorism, nor the Islamo-Fascist movements unless we're willing to "get our hands dirty".

Of course, maybe the strategy is to get us embroiled in Africa, which hopefully would relieve some pressure on the Jihadists in the Persian Gulf countries.

Could be that Iran is hoping to divert attention away from it, and towards some "humanitarian" situation that they have helped to create (or at least provided support for).

But we also cannot exclude that China, a major weapons provider to Sudan, hasn't struck some kind of Faustian bargain.
