Then the Iraqi people should have done it.
WHY LIE about our intents for war against Iraq?
There is a HUGE difference. Iraq had a strong government and was stable.
Sudan has a weak government and has not been stable for a long time.
Iraq is more civilized, Sudan well it is still a 3rd world country and seems like it will be for a very long time to come.
With these conditions in mind, the brutality in Iraq vs the brutality in Darfur could not have occurred on the same level.
Scotty, I've not run into anyone who attempts to make the comparison of Iraq to Darfur as far as brutality.
Not diminishing what the Iraqi's went through, but they did have the framework by which they could attempt to overthrow their centralized government if they wanted to.
In Sudan, who were they going to overthrow, resist-- their neighbor or the people from the next village over?
Iraqi's have neighbors with civilized militaries and intel ops-- it would have not been impossible for the Iraqi civillians to get them involved.
Sudan's neighbors?
Iraqi's were never helpless.
Sudanese?
The situations leading up to the maasacres are different.
The reasons behind the massacres are different.
The positions of the people involved in the violence are different.
The volume of causalities and the collective effects on their societies are different.
Your comparison of Iraq to Darfur is terribly flawed.
