You just can't win with some people I guess. If Bush would have taken action in Darfur then he would have been called a reckless cowboy. Doesn't everyone seems to say that the US shouldn't be the world's police force and attempt to handle everything alone? Why is it then that the US is expected to act when the UN won't?
These poor people in Darfur or being massacred, robbed, and raped by Arab extremist and no one does a thing to help. The people are Darfur are very unfortunate in their situation. Not only are they Christian and victims of genocide by Islam (just like the Zoroastrians), they were also unfortunate to be born black.
A group of black christians being terrorized by Arab muslims? That is a story that the powers that be don't care about at all.

If there was oil to be had with a war in Darfur he'd go in a flash. But rescuing these innocents from genocide just doesn't bring him enough $$ to consider the action.
I'm disgusted with the UN.

So libs think we should get out of Iraq because they are in a state of civil war, but they think we should get involved in a civil war in Darfur? How does that make any sense? Oh wait that's right, they're libs, they don't have to make sense. So long as they disagree with Bush...Pathetic.

The US refuses even to sanction Sudan. Its more than willing to sanction Iran or invade Iraq and kill hundreds of thousands of people for who knows why, but we won't put pressure on a government that is savagely brutalizing its own people.

"but we won't put pressure on a government that is savagely brutalizing its own people."
But I thought that Saddam was brutalizing his own people. The US stepped in and gets nothing but criticism. I guess we are learning from our mistakes so let's leave Sudan alone. We really don't need more criticism.
