"we would never let what is happening in Darfur happen here in the States."



I'm not sure if that's really true. The gang violence is not that different.

if the Janjaweed was, you know, pillaging New Hampshire or if, you know, young girls were being dragged out, kidnapped, [and] sold into brothels in North Carolina

New Hampshire gun owners would turn them into dog meat.

As Kristof puts it, he wants his "column to give people an uncomfortable breakfast each morning."

Absolutely fascinating. He isn't interesting in doing anything effective to protect the victims, only about making more Americans uncomfortable, and therefore (according to liberal doctrine) superior human beings.

"Of course, Sudan poses no military threat to America, but the genocide is an injustice nonetheless."

Uh, the libs said the same about Iraq. But according to them, we should not have gone into Iraq, but now we should go into Darfur???

The same crowd wants us to send our troops to "intervene" in Darfur also wants us to withdraw our troops from Iraq. They obviously have not thought things through. The instant we pull out of Iraq before the Iraqi government is capable of keeping the peace, Iraq would descend into a hell far worse than Darfur ever could be.

But this crowd is not capable of recognizing errors in judgment (except when it comes to Bush's judgment), let alone admitting those errors.

You will notice that this crowd never mentions Blackhawk Down, a policy disaster that occurred during the US "intervention" in Somalia. But that was Clinton, and Darfur is the obvious fault of Bushitler.

Go figure.

"I don't think I have any sort of, you know, particularly unusual or even sophisticated moral doctrine. I think it is more a matter that I try to push people to care equally about injustices that are a long way away versus those that are next door."

If Nicholas D. Kristof had a moral doctrine of any kind, he would calling for the outright elimination of the jihadist making Darfur region of Sudan a living hell hole.

His moral doctrine is more of a situational relativism, which in it's core value is immoral
