Weeping For Darfur Our Anonymous Moron troll whines that I don't talk about Darfur. Well, here's an editorial by Ralph Peters about Darfur with which I agree, though I doubt if Anonymous Moron does: Europe wrings its hands - as Europe always does - but declines an invitation to the dance. After all, "responsible" governments can't play fast and loose with another state's sovereignty. No dictator or president-for-life would be able to get a decent night's sleep. To be fair, I think that there's another one. In the minds of many deranged leftists, Arabs can do no wrong, because they're fighting against the evil West, capitalists and Amerikkka. And they only want us to liberate people when we have no national interest in doing so. And even then, of course, they're not truly liberated unless they're yoked to socialism.

The editorial link points to the same archive link "whines" points to, not the Darfur article. Posted by Ray at December 11, 2006 04:31 PMHere be da link: The Damned of Darfur. Sorry, fixed now. Posted by Rand Simberg at December 11, 2006 05:38 PMThe article states...Isn't it curious that, when it comes to liberation, Iraq didn't count? For the endlessly hypocritical left, there's one magic difference between the half-million dead of Darfur and the 1.5 million people killed by Saddam in his internal massacres and neighborhood wars: Bush. There's another difference as well. The left didn't get to choose the target. If they call for war, they defend their choice to no end. When the right calls for war...well you see the result.

Now how that get's done is a tough one. All oout invasion is usually the last choice. UN forces to try and establish camp security, Committing US prestige unilaterally is risky. Rwanda ended only when tutsi built up "The difference is the Left doesn't want to make war on Darfur, they want to make peace." OK, Rand, I've been coming to your site for a while and didn't think I would ever accuse you of intellilctual dishonesty. After reading the above statement, I must now conclude that 'Anonymous' is simply you, injecting the most inane comments to your blog, in an attempt to further the dialogue. All you need now is a big "Make Love, Not War" button on your homepage and the stupidity would be complete. Posted by Tom W. at December 12, 2006 05:41 PMPost a comment |
