The Sudan has been in a perpetual state of Civil War since about 1955. Hmm, that’s almost 50 years – and they say public school students can’t do geometry. The first two Civil Wars pitted the Muslim north against the Christian south. Somewhere between 2.5 and 1.9 million people were killed, mainly in the south, before a peace agreement was signed in January 2005. Wow, that really held up.
George Clooney was reading someone else’s words in some daytime drama before reading someone else’s words in ER, but never uttered any words on the genocide in the Sudan while Muslims were slaughtering Christians. But hey, those were Christians. Probably got what they deserved – right?
Well now, and this is really good news, the Muslims have taken to killing each other. Good only in the sense that when the Libs finally get the world that they want – a world wide Muslim Caliphate – we can count on the radicals Muslims to start killing each other. So there is a glimmer of hope. In Sudan’s latest Civil War, government backed Arab Muslims have taken to killing black African Muslims. And this is what has George Clooney in high dudgeon. Damn them! Just kill the Christians!
Deaths in this conflict are a fraction of the previous two Civil Wars, anywhere between 50, 000 and 400,000. But hey, give them some time, they’ll catch up. Now, having played a soldier once in the movies, George can’t understand why the US doesn’t just drop a couple of platoons in there and wrap this up in 150 minutes or so and end the genocide that he’s ignored for the last 48 years.
Yesterday Lex noted that Darfur would be a good fight for the US. No, not because there are any enduring US interests in Darfur. There aren’t any not like there are in Iraq. There are a couple of good reasons though.
Fighting in Darfur provides an opportunity to kill more gun toting radical Muslims.
Fighting in Darfur allows the left and the right in this country to unite in a common goal - to kill people who will eventually try to kill us.
After we get bogged down in a Vietnam-like quagmire in the Sudan, oops that line of thought is reserved for Libs and only for wars fought for some legitimate US interest. Well anyway, after some period of time, a smart general could advocate a widening of the war to Syria and Iran to get at the root causes of violence in Darfur. Having “lied us into the wrong war, at the wrong time, with the wrong enemy” – a little leftie talk there – the Libs would have to go along and we could finally get at the people we really need to be getting at.
