| #8 We should have gone into Sudan before Afghanistan, before 911. But we did, 49 Pan. Have you forgotten when President Clinton ordered a missile shot into an empty tent? It was an Al Qaeda tent. Hey there, Anon1! It's so nice when one of our returns. I always hope that they're gone because they're busy, and not because something dreadful happened. |

| #6 Sudan you say? Is this a glimpse into our future? Millions of Latino kids streaming into the U.S. going into the cities left to fend for themselves. Many of them are young toughs; some who have already cut their teeth with murder. "Lord of the Flies" on steroids? |

| #3 I understand that South Sudan is Christian, animist, and black, Charles. Whereas the rulers and Janjaweed (?) "warriors" of Sudan are Muslim and Arab, while the others are Muslim and black. So there are lots of people to be murdered in large numbers. |

| #2 Isn't South Sudan mostly Christian? That was more than half the point for breaking off from the North, unless I'm missing something. Seems like once they didn't have to worry about turbans, they went back into tribal loyalties. |

| #1 Yup, take a Muslim news org and talk bad about the Christian trying to stop the 30 years of genocide. The Khartoum government has been on an eradication program with the south since the 80's. In the 90's the Western Sudan made a fortune raiding and raping the South, when the world stopped them they had no other economy and starved. We then had our dollars for Darfur. What needs to happen is we need to send SF groups down there and help them over throw the Khartoum govt. |
