Since the killing in Darfur is perpetrated by Arab Muslims against black Muslims...

And against black Christians and black Animists. This one's Arab vs. Black and because of that the Arab Union isn't really all that interested; in fact, it would just as soon ignore the whole thing because no Arab could ever be racist, right?

It is amusing that such a vocal critic of the Iraq operation as Clooney now demands action on the part of the U.S. Were he to get what he's asking for he'd still find a way to use it to bash Bush.

So many people argue that since humanitarianism wasn't the reason for the invasion, it shouldn't be taken into account. Well, an invasion is an invasion. People in Afghanistan are free of the Taliban, Iraqis free of Saddam. That's 50 million people, but it's apparently all a bunch of nothing.
