#1 unfortunately the rebels seem to be incompetent and not particulalrly heroic. IF we go in, it will be to stop genocide, NOT cause the rebels are the salt of the earth.

#2 I've been thinking about Sudan the last few days. It seems to me the rally this weekend is fortuitously timed, given Osama bin Laden's recent statement that Darfur is the next battleground. I think President Bush should respond nobly to the rally (our local mosque is hosting a nondenominational rally to protest the situation in Darfur on their grounds at the same time, and I imagine there will be similar activities around the nation) by announcing the sending of a multi-national force -- perhaps Marines/Special Forces plus appropriate flying/bombing thingies with associated staff, to end the Janjaweed depradations and enable the government to reestablish control over renegade Arab militias. (Ok, that last bit was sarcastic, but there was a note from the assistant rabbi in this month's newsletter about the Darfur genocide in which he named the Janjaweed(!!)) Key War on Terror goal being to make Sudan entirely inhospitable to Al Qaeda returnees, while trumpeting the humanitarian goal of making it clear that Arab lebensraum efforts will be stopped both to the Black/Muslim north and to the Black/non-Muslim south of the country.
