From Victim to (Mutual) Aggressor: South Sudan's Disastrous First Year
2012-05-09
Nice review from the Atlantic on the war between Sudan and South Sudan. As you might expect, lots of villains on both sides.

#6  The honest right thing to do would be to arm the Christians with the ability to defend themselves

Israel is on that, 49 Pan.

#5  Apparently somebody never had to deal with a bully without a Parent holding their hand.

#4  Through a looking glass, void of historical truths. It's about time the South defended the people. We cried and poured "dollars for Darfur" into western Sudan when the Muslim North and West were raiding the Christian in the south. Any word from the F@$king UN on the slaughter or Christians??? Crickets.... The genocide of the Christians in southern Sudan has been going on for the last 20 years, except for the girls and boys sold into the sex industry. The honest right thing to do would be to arm the Christians with the ability to defend themselves. The bits about the evil tribal leaders in the south pale in comparison to the truly evil that has been bestowed on the South by the Khartoum government in the name of Allah and greed.
The very best we could do would to be destroy Khartoum and burn what is left. Remember this was a nerve center for AQ and OBL. It was based on evil, runs on evil and greed, and answers to no one.

Rant off.

#3  Unfortunately, when dealing with a country like Sudan, "They're either at your feet or at your throat," holds true. The only way to stop the jihad would be for South Sudan to conquer their erstwhile masters.
