■"Surge in Violence in Sudan Erodes Hope: More Than 100 Members of Congress Denounce Bush Approach; A growing sense that the Darfur peace effort will not succeed," by Joel Brinkley, New York Times, 7 November 2005, p. A10.

Blueprint for Action is nothing more than "
empire made easy."
Sudan is certainly a place I'd like to build an empire, what with it's puny oil reserves and nonstop genocide. This is a failed state for the taking, yes?
So why not take it and end the suffering. Or does the Left simply whine about U.S. militarism while the death toll in the country surpasses 200,000?
Everybody is ready to blame Bush for "coddling" this horrible regime. I suppose many of these congressman are raring to lay economic sanctions on this amazingly disconnected nation, the sum impact of which will certainly be to kill thousands more each year we would persist in this stunningly ineffective approach.
How many of these congressman and big-mouths of the Left are ready to build the SysAdmin force and forge that A-to-Z rule set? Or is that effort simply anathema to do these do-nothing, know-nothing types who wear their selfishness and self-righteousness on their sleeves like medals of moral honor?
