Some estimates place the number killed in the past few years at 3,000,000. This government makes Saddam's seem positively benevolent. Why haven't we invaded there?

Because this is part of their culture. It is for them to grow out of. The better approach for the US is to stop recognizing the government there, stop trading and aiding there, and let them learn their own lessons. Saddam was one man imposing virtual slavery. In the Sudan, it is an accepted part of life. We can and should export our culture peacefully and voluntarily, not forcefully.

Slavery is absolutely not a part of the culture in Sudan! Where on earth do you get your information from?

In the Sudan, it is an accepted part of life

What an absurd statement to make!

I suggest that you actually talk to Sudanese who have been rescued or who have come to the US as refugees and ask them if slavery is "accepted" as a way of life in Sudan. Alternatively, do some reading on this issue.

Slavery has been around for a long time in Sudan, but we should still oppose it. Murder has been committed for thousands of years but we oppose that. Tyrannical governments have been around for thousands of years but many oppose that.
The National Islamic Front will not allow anyone to peacfuly export jahili culture btw.
Considering the NSI's support of terrorism US military action against them is perfectly justifiable and long over-due in my opinion.
Thanks for posting.

That's some ethically interesting parsing of equivalencies you're doing there.
