#1 I recommend that we send some troops because contibuting manpower to a UN Peacekeeping Force will fulfill my deep desire to invade a country of starving people that hate each other.

#2 Lol, SH.

There's a commercial running on local TV which says that only a "strong UN force" can stop the slaughter in Darfur. Then, in a masterful example of total cognitive dissonance, it demands President Bush act immediately. Since I'm an RBer, it gives me major whiplash, but I doubt that Joe Avg even notices. OWG.

#3 Khartoum needs a JDAM wakeup just for being belligerent 3rd world Arab tin-pot dictators. Call it delayed reaction for hosting Bin Laden in the 90's or the Darfur genocide pre-war bombing, whatever. I just get tired of loudmouths who can't back it up.

#4 Let's not send troops, let's send aid! Air-deliver several thousand bags of wet cement over Khartoum, especially the government sector. Drop another $80,000 in aid money (all pennies) over the same city from a B-52 at 45,000 feet. After all, we really do need to help these unfortunate people out of their misery, don't we?

#7 Another "Iran" case where blowing away all of the various forms of competing leadership cannot have any possible downside.
