"So if the Iraqi civil war — which we must not interfere in — devolves as
expected into ethnic cleansing, then … what? U.S. troops go back in? NATO? The
UN? Or do we leave that one alone because Bush ultimately is responsible and
thus a really massive death toll would provide an even more chastening
“teachable moment” about the perils of adventurism abroad (Darfur excluded, of
course)?"
I really think that this is a good point, I would ask also, how many that are calling for action to be taken in Darfur would turn and call it an invasion after action has been taken. I do think that something needs to be done to help those in Darfur, but it is not the role of America alone to take action, the UN needs to be involved, and the African Union and NATO maybe. I would even ask for involvement by the Arab league, let them doing something positive for the world for a change. Why is it that no one condemns them for not taking action, they have the money, they have the power.
