Justice for Darfur
washington post. ^ | Wednesday, February 28, 2007 | Angelina Jolie

BAHAI, Chad -- Here, at this refugee camp on the border of Sudan, nothing separates us from Darfur but a small stretch of desert and a line on a map. All the same, it's a line I can't cross. As a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, I have traveled into Darfur before, and I had hoped to return. But the UNHCR has told me that this camp, Oure Cassoni, is as close as I can get.

Wow...she sounds like a Conservative to me:

Until the killers and their sponsors are prosecuted and punished, violence will continue on a massive scale. Ending it may well require military action..

There has been a groundswell of public support for action. People may disagree on how to intervene -- airstrikes, sending troops, sanctions, divestment -- but we all should agree that the slaughter must be stopped and the perpetrators brought to justice.

It has become clear to me that there will be no enduring peace without justice. History shows that there will be another Darfur, another exodus, in a vicious cycle of bloodshed and retribution. But an international court finally exists. It will be as strong as the support we give it. This might be the moment we stop the cycle of violence and end our tolerance for crimes against humanity.
What the worst people in the world fear most is justice. That's what we should deliver.

Liberals love humanitarian military actions. Clinton ate up Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, etc. Yet ending evil regimes like Saddam's are over the top. I hate what is happening in Darfur, but it is a political problem (That is what the RATS are saying about Iraq), and the Sudanese need to figure it out.

I consider Iraq a humanitarian action.

Here is a little light reading about St. Angelina. Before the entire world falls at this woman's feet, maybe they should find out who she really is...and BTW, did she take those kids of hers to this war zone?

Exactly. What's the difference between genocide in Darfur and Saddam killing up to a million of his own people? What hypocrisy from the left.
