And now an alternate view: Instead of sending an envoy, send weapons to the largly Christian forces in the south, send technical advisors to show them how to use them, and give them something to actual secure their "security" with. The entire point of ethnic cleansing and genocide is moving a largely disarmed populace out of your space. This worked great in Rwanda, because they disarmed them first. What ultimatley brought peace there was the Tutsi rebels acquiring arms elsewhere and marching in glorious battle to secure their areas and push back those doing the cleansing.


These folks don't need a peace envoy, they need artillery, small arms, mortars, RPG's, food & water supplies & MRE's, special forces, and air support.  If you send that, and make a commitment - you can end this entire situation in a lasting way in a mere 6 to 12 weeks. And instead of just a piece of paper, you effecively change the situation on the ground forever, bringing security to the entire country - and eventually stability.  The negotiated solution sounds nice "Oh, Mr. Bad men & women, stop killing them..." but it leaves them in power. Do we want that? What made the situation bad in the first place? Ahh, back to the people in power.

Althought thanks to the involvment of some members of Congress (like our boy Barak Obama) the ongoing genocide in Sudan has gotten some media attention, a lot of people still don't know about it. Hopefully through sites like this and possibly some restructuring of priorities in the media we can get it know, and we can make a differance. If we sit by and do nothing, how can we call ourselves a just society?

I've barely heard anything about the atrocities that are happening in Sudan. Please watch this movie and sign the petition for the UN to organize a peace envoy.

If there is ever a moral case for war it is where genocide is being committed. But there is no oil here and the lying psychopaths that make up the Sudanese government were quick to kick Al-Qaida out of the country when it seemed to them that their guests might draw the wrath of the Western powers. So they have been left to committ (or sanction) atrocities on a par with the Nazis. Therefore the one place where massive military action really would be a good thing is left alone and innocent children die horribly at the hands of these savage baboons.

I wish more people would take the time to focus on the Darfur atrocities.
