So why is so little said about Darfur?
At first glance, it would seem the current administration would be falling all over itself to publicize it.
1. First, it is a humanitarian crisis of incredible proportions. Tens of thousands dead. Many more having all they owned destroyed and forced to flee for their lives. Do we really want to sit on our hands and watch another Rwanda?
2. Second, it can be positioned as Muslims slaughtering Christians. Certainly, that could play well with the President’s constituency.
3. Third, the Sudan has oil. Why not attempt to lower prices by stabilizing the Sudan?
On second glance, maybe those same factors are reasons why the U.S. is not pressing the issue. . .
