| #5 Old Patriot, I've made some snide comments about the Egyptian army, based mostly on Mr. Wife's observations of soldiers standing guard in Cairo with both sandals and weapons held together -- literally -- by duct tape. This was back in 1987 or so, when he lived there for the better part of a year during a factory start-up. Is Egypt's army really capable of effective functioning beyond the country's borders? |

| #4 Maybe Ethiopia can be persuaded to intervene? Ethiopia's busy. I think it's time for someone else to step forward. Unfortunately, the only people with a useful army are either South Africa, Libya, or Egypt. I'm not sure I'd trust any of them. There's lots of hard feelings between Sudan and Egypt, so maybe that's the best group to intercede. |

| #2 Ambassador Abdalhaleem "said Sudan envisions a hybrid force as being staffed by African Union troops under African command, with U.N. personnel involved only in logistical and technical duties, not peacekeeping." Translation: "we'll let the UN bring our Janjaweed food, ammo and clothing, tell us where the refugees are so we can kill the remaining ones, and gather totals on dead black Sudanese." Annan has become Sudan's bendover boy. |
