Dafur is muslims killing muslims. Let the Organization of Islamic States solve the problem. I’m sure they are responsible people.

Well actually its Muslims killing Muslims, Christians and animists.

Yes, it’s all of the above, but the Muslim on Muslim action hasn’t here been properly represented: It’s Arab Muslims killing Black Muslims.

The whole world could become Muslim, and the wars would continue over skin color. One could wish that the libs concerned with Darfur could wake up and recognize that the bad guys there are the same folks they’re swooning over with the other half of their brain.

UN workers have had their trucks hijacked and their stations robbed

After other UN frauds and crimes, a person might wonder if this is just a case of the little guys at the UN selling food for profit on the local black market.

Nowhere near the Oil For Food fraud, but the litlle UN guys have to get theirs too.

The next time Eurotrash complain about Americans trying to be the worlds policeman, someone needs to ask “If not us then who?” Not that they will get off their ass and not that the Democrats who are saying they will take over for us in Iraq/Afghanistan will notice.

What’s new? The UN is completely incompetent. What do they actually do well? Spend money? Create controversy? Heck, I can do that for a fraction of the cost!

If this doesn’t tell western civilizations that we need to bulk up our military, especially land forces, nothing will.

If this doesn’t prove the uselessness of the UN, nothing will.

If this doesn’t provide a clue to the liberal left, nothing will, and we should just ignore their yammering.

[expletive deleted] People, buy a clue!

Don’t ever expect the U.N. to fire a single bullet

Indy Conservative on April 18, 2008 at 7:35 AM

My thoughts exactly! If you want to protect something, wouldn’t it make sense that you put real military/police in charge instead of peaceniks that don’t know the operational end of a weapon from the end where the lead projectiles are evacuating it? In addition if the hi-jackers are attacking in numbers, how about using greater numbers to protect the food! DUH!

This is why it’s important to spread freedom throughout the world and to resist attempts to stifle it. You often can’t get the necessary aid to starving people who aren’t free – either because of renegade theft or because warlords are intercepting the supplies and parceling them out to leverage their power. Liberals keep yelling about places like Darfur, but they don’t realize that actually helping the innocents will mean invasion, killing a bunch of bad guys, and likely some collateral damage as well. A lot more help from a few of our gutless European “friends” will be needed, as will cleaning the corruption, evil and bureaucratic stink out of the U.N.

“In 1993, Bill Clinton changed the mission from security to attack but failed to bring the proper resources to bear, and wound up ordering a humiliating retreat …”

Which is just another on a looooong list of reasons why his ‘wife’ (nor any other dhimicrat for that matter) should not be allowed anywhere NEAR the White House.

If the UN wanted to do something it would. Many of the member nations do not want anything done, because they think they’d be next on the list. As a place to get together and talk it is fine, but do not expect any action from the UN — and I don’t want an activist UN with its own taxation power and army.

The U.N. is not only inept, it’s dangerous. The U.N. doesn’t care if these people in Darfur starve to death or not, they are more concerned about polar bears than people. The proof of that was the slaughter the U.N. was responsible for in Rwanda, tens of thousands died under their auspices. And after that, instead of the U.N. being disbanded and tried for crimes against humanity, we continue to send them more money so they can kill more people with their ineptness. The U.N. can’t do the job, they don’t want to do the job and proved time and time again they are incapable of doing the job, so it should disbanded for the failure that it is. If we want the job done right lets send the U.S. Marines to distribute the food and engage the Janjaweed and their sponsors. After a couple of years we will hear no more of the Janjaweed. It could all be done for a lot less money than we send the U.N. every year.

Build the new U.N. HQ smack dab in the middle of it, maybe in the form of a huge black monolith. It’s full of stars. All those diplomats and Hollyweird types could keep an eye on things from the restaurant at the top.

where government forces and rebels have been at war for five years

Who? Is this what we are calling the refugees now? Is there some “other” faction that the poor Sudanese government just can’t handle?

Ed Morrissey, remember, the U.N. was founded to promote and safeguard peace.

Don’t ever expect the U.N. to fire a single bullet to protect her employees or the starving poor people.

The U.N. for me is irrelevant. It’s like the third term of Bush.

The U.N. is impotent, and it doesn’t matter how many blue hats (pills) they use, they still won’t be able to get the job done.
