Related to my last post, the Sojourners today includes the following quote:

'All bark, no bite'
"[The Sudanese government] sees the international community as all bark, no bite, and unfortunately they're right."
- Dave Mozersky, Sudan analyst for the International Crisis Group.

With the situation we find ourselves in in Iraq, Sudan is staring down the international community and winning. They are being allowed to destroy an entire people group, rape, pillage, murder, whatever they please, and we act as though we are powerless. This is a perfect time for troops to be deployed (taken from Iraq if necessary) and, as my friend Jared used to say in college, "lick balls and take names."

Well, I suppose if you’re a peacenik globalist you should sit back with the United Nations, wait until the genocide is complete, and then say “Never again!”

If you actually believe we have a responsibly toward those suffering and dying at the hands of the Janjaweed and their sponsors in Khartoum, you should have been and should still be hoping and urging your government to completely destroy by military force both the Janjaweed and the terrorist-state of Sudan. This is a government that actively sponsors groups who threaten our national security in addition to giving aid and comfort and protection to many of our sworn enemies, such as Osama Bin Laden at one point.

Sudan is the picture of what happens when good men do nothing for a long time – and I would define appeasing enemies and talking ad nauseam when people are being brutally murdered, raped, and enslaved, as doing nothing. What a shame.
