I see its more important to bash Hillary than to stop a genocide in the Darfur region (Not that we should believe Hillary, but even a stopped watch...) What a way to pick a winning topic fellow freepers! Why shouldn't we use force to stop a genocide as pronounced by the US government? I am in full support of doing whatever is necessary to end the genocide in Darfur. How do other Freepers stand on this issue. It seems that if you supported overthrowing Saddam for the crimes he committed against the Iraqis, it is only logical to put down the rebel troops accused of murdering tens of thousands of Sudanese.

I do believe that stopping genocide is a valid use of our forces, but that doesn't mean I support Hillary saying anything. She'll support this use of our military people now, and then next year do a 180 and say it was someone else's fault and call for the removal of troops. She wants it both ways. BTW, I didn't support the overthrow of Saddam at the time (3 years ago).

First of all, have we used the G word? I don't think so. If the UN determined that what is happening in the Sudan is genocide then they are required to act.
Additionally, we didn't venture into Iraq because he was committing mass murder of his own people but because he was sponsoring & underwriting terrorism.
