#1 I'd suggest contemplating only. You have enough on your plate. I know, let Koffee handle this one.

#2 I say we make sure the people of Darfur are treated humanely.

Cut off all food shipments so they can starve to death. It's the right thing to do. Ask any liberal.

#3 The last time the US wanted to show a big heart in an African country, we wound up in a "BlackHawk Down" situation. The sight of our boys being dragged around in the dust nude damn near drove me to a stroke back then (Thanks Les, and I hope your still dead!). Let the AU handle this and help with logistics and intelligence if need be. If other African governments and militaries don't give a s***, why should we. Save our guys for the winter offensive in Afghanistan, thats coming up.

#4 Western Liberals are screaming for the US to get involved but once we do they will be screaming that our troops are commiting atrocities and that we should leave before the job is done. Isn't that their MO? If they are so concerned about Dafur then they should suit up and stop the killing themselves. That is, if they can stop accusing and insulting our troops long enough to get their cowardly asses into gear!

#6 Iff God intended for Africa to be un-important, MADONNA would never had been pre-ordained 30-plus years ago to adopt an African child.

#7 Unfortunately, we've been "working with the international community," which, as usual, suffers from testicular paralysis.

No. The "international community" whole-heartedly endorses genocide. Look at how they treat the Palestinians.

#8 Arclight Khartoum and watch this stuff stop. Use an F/A-18 armed escort and turn the arab capital into a typical arab cesspit. I'm sure Ethiopia will allow us to over-fly their territory, either on the way in or the way out. We already have SOME Buffs in Diego Garcia. It'll make for a long day, but those guys can handle it.
