Reply #16: it's hard to keep peace [View All]

when there's no peace - Bush has rightly been chastised for his disdain for diplomacy, this stage (unfortunately for the Sudanese affected) is the diplomatic stage - blazing in with both barrells at this stage would set up futrher problems in the future.

The Sudanese government who arm and support the janjaweed are not going to co-operate with a peacekeeping or military force at this point in time so the only option would be a forced intervention which would stir up nationalism in the rest of the country and voila another shit storm.

I'm not saying we should ignore what happening in Darfur but if the solution isn't viable it causes more problems than it solves.
