U.S & Sudan

Unless you've been living under a rock, there is a terrible humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
My question is: what is the U.S doing, if anything, to help out the refugees and stop the Janjaweed Arab militia from further killing?

I do not think a lot of people are aware of this situation, including myself (I guess I live under a rock :conf: ) But on a serious note, maybe you can post a url that explians briefly the situation, or explain it yourself. As for now, I cannot comment on it. Sounds interesting though..."U.S." is in it... :D

Do you feel that it is the U.S.'s responsibility to stand up and do something about it? Why isn't the all powerful UN doing anything? Why is it OK for the world to demand the U.S.'s help in one humanitarian crisis and then virtually turn their collective backs on the U.S. when we decide to do something?

Nonetheless, I haven't really been keeping up with who's done what so far, but I know that plenty of public figures have spoken out about it. I'd like to see something done down there, but I don't know what the best solution is to the problem. In the end, the U.S. will create 1 more ally and 1 more enemy. Right?

Good, Shakka's online here. Where the f*ck is the UN and where do they fit into the picture of world affairs? They allowed Rwanda to happen without a blink, so why should we think they would do something about Sudan? Everyone always comes callling on the US to save the F*cking Day and we're left with a heap of after we destroy all organized armed forces. Peacekeeping is more like war these days and everyone is eating popcorn and watching the US show. That's about BS.

BTW, How does some motherf*cker from Ghana like Koffi Annan think he has any power in world affairs? Fire the bastard and put someone in charge of the damn UN for a change. I probably need to start another thread.

:p

UN is actually doing something, the problem is that the UN arent any stronger than its member countries. Many european countries and the US have done a share, but NOT enough, i dont know which countries who had done their share well, so i wont blame anyone specific, to only blame the US is stupid though. I think that african union however has offered to send many peace keeping troops to the region, with financial support from the west. anyway, its crap that the media support on this cris is so bad, that there actually is people (in a political forum..) who has no clue about what is happening scares me!

Let's lay Sudan on the French. Make them go in there and fix things. Koffi can send a few of his fellow countrymen from Ghana to back up the force, BWAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
