Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Osama Ismail heaped praise Monday on U.S. President George W. Bush's policies toward his Afro-Arab nation, saying they made it possible for the two nations to cooperate in fighting against terror, ending Sudan's civil strife and settling bilateral problems. Ismail, in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur to attend an Islamic conference on terrorism, delivered a scathing attack on former U.S. President Bill Clinton, saying his administration's policies fueled a civil war in south Sudan and sought the isolation of the country. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, Sudan has complied with requests from the United States and other Western nations to provide information on suspected terrorists and investigate local businesses suspected of links with al-Qaida.
They seem to have worked their way off the poop list. Congratulations to them.Does that mean that they've stopped their policy of genocide and chattel slavery? Or has Bush decided that accepting that is a small price to pay for Sudan's help?
