Day in Sudan

Here's a great read, http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,10243833%5E7583,00.html in today's Australian.

I like this quote:

But right now it is happening, and you can't help wondering where all the great humanitarians are. Alas, Sudan doesn't seem to have much appeal to them, lacking as it does the crucial Bush angle and affording little opportunity for use of words such as "neocons" and "Halliburton".

Personally I think the US are happy to stay out of the Sudan in the run up to an election. This is unfortunate, but at least they are trying to get sactions imposed. What about the rest of the Western World, shouldn't we do something? I'm wondering if the countries / groups / pinkos opposing this will have the courage to go to Sudan and apologise in 10 years time (Clinton style).
