What's the difference? As more than one commentator has observed, liberals are all in favor of American intervention - so long as we have no national security interest at stake.

Why doesn't Finkelstein just give El Rushbo credit where it's due??

For the record, Finkelstein = me, governsleast. I'm happy to give Rush credit, but couldn't find a cite. I Googled all sorts of variations on this statement and couldn't come up with one. I'll look again including Rush in the Google search and will link if I find a good reference.

Actually, the first time I ever heard that quote, it was by Ann Coulter.

I enjoy reading Finklestein pieces. Thanks I think intervention in Darfur would be a nightmare. Replay those tapes of Andrea Mitchell being picked up and carried out of the room by guards of Sudanese president on Condi visit.

"What's the difference? As more than one commentator has observed, liberals are all in favor of American intervention - so long as we have no national security interest at stake."

Do the liberals not realize that Sudan does have oil, and that China is trying to secure all of the oil in Sudan, and indeed it would be in our national interests? You know, "war for oil!"

Do they still want Bush to do something given these facts?

Ive almost gotten to the point where I think it's a good idea to let "civil conflict between distinct Muslim factions" play their hands out, that we will have that mnay less Jihads knuckleheads to deal with when our national interests are involved.

The West must not impose it's imperialistic will upon Allah's people in Darfur. Killing infidels and Dhimmis is their Allah-given right.

Darfur is a quagmire, a quagmire I say!

And how do they propose that we "fix this" short of sending in the military, which is what it will require to bead the badguys into submission. Force is all they understand. The day after troops are deployed these liberals will be declaring the effort "lost" and demanding a withdrawal!

Rush has been mentioning it quite often on the air, but I'm not a 24/7 subscriber so I can't get the transcript. But yes, Ann Coulter has also used the same theory and perhaps started it!

GLGB, I do enjoy your columns and posts, just wanted to point this out.

The problem is they (the combatants) don't stay in one spot.
You could say that there is a global civil war going on inside Islam and that 9-11 was collateral damage.

Also remember after the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan there was a civil war for power there also. That worked out real good.

I guess my point is the world has become too small & interconnected place to allow this kind of thing to go on in these dark disconnected places any more.

Pardon the interruption, but what is a Kate Snow??

Let me guess.. one of those empty-headed, leftist, blonde-bimbo, dinosaur-media info-babes, right?

Am I close?

I know for certain Ann Coulter has made that statement also. I first came across it in SLANDER.

Just like the "War Is Never The Answer" Libs cheered Klinton's bombing of the Serbs.

I'm not surprised Clooney would be a supporter of Barack Hussein Obama. After they all, they have a lot in common: they are wildly popular, handsome, men in their 40s with absolutely no common sense.

As for Kate Snow cheerleading Clooney on Darfur, I guess I don't mind that one bit. Let the big empty headed pretty boy waste his time and money trying to fix a civil war in Africa. It means less time for him to spend on making overrated movies and pontificating on American politics.
