Bush proves right on Darfur

So, President Bush did an interview with the BBC yesterday and among many things, he was questioned on why the US has not intervened in Darfur. And he answered the question just he way I would have. The answer being..."Are you a fucking idiot?" "Why the hell do you think that the US should in any way intervene militarily in that conflict?"

Now, this poses a dilemma for the ever fickle human rights groups. Do they ask the US who they don't want to be the world's policeman to go police Darfur? I'm sensing some inherent contradictions here. But oh well... On to the part that really matters.

The War on Terrorism.

Yeah, its that thing again. Because while the civilized world will see this as a chance to stop genocide. After all, thats all it is because Darfur doesn't have alot in the way of natural resources except for water. (The oil that is heavy in that region isn't in Darfur)

Note that Sudan is an Arab Muslim country. The Arab world has already proven that they don't care about the genocide. Arab Muslims are never wrong apparently in each others eyes, and they all can agree that the Jews are behind it all.

And here is where it gets controversial. In my view, the US military serves to protect US interests, primarily the US homeland. There are no US interests in Darfur. Why would we send in soldiers only to have the Muslim world declare another jihad against the Great Satan because it invaded another Arab nation? So, not only would we be sending US troops into a region that is not vital to our security, but now we've opened another front in the war on terror. We'd be merely giving Jihadists another chance to shoot at our already over-extended military.

Remember, Sudan used to give safe haven for Osama Bin Laden and his cohorts. This is after he was a wanted man for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Sudan has shown what its opinions on the US are and in what regards it holds the West.

And for those "What about the refugees?" people out there. Having Darfur become a battleground between US forces and Jihadists from around the Muslim world doesn't exactly benefit the humanitarian situation there. God, some people are just too stupid.

Excellent article on the Arab media's attempt to blame everything on the Jews and Christians.
