What about Sudan?

When was the last time you heard about Sudan? Dafur and the UN Peacekeeping force are little talked about subjects when it comes to current events. This is a very important topic when it comes to terrorism though. The Sudan is a perfect breeding ground for the very brutal and inhuman terrorists that we face in Iraq and here at home.


Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said last month "What the al Qaeda in Iraq could do in May and what they can do today has been seriously degraded. They are not as effective or as organized today as they were back in May. But they're still an organization out there." The general said about 50 to 70 foreign fighters enter Iraq every month. "We know that most of them come from Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt and Syria."


I can understand Saudia Arabia, I can even understand Egypt but Sudan is an awfully long way from home. The reason that we are fighting Sudanese fighters is that these hard core Islamafascists are highly experienced soldiers who are indoctrinated in radical teachings.

I would like to point out that the human rights abuses in that region merit much more media attention than Mr. Foley's disturbing actions.(as horrible as they are) Darfur is almost infinitly more bloody than even Iraq. These human rights attrocities demand action. There needs to be African Peacekeepers in there. There needs to be someone in there.

We have a special interest in stabilizing the Sudan but so does the world.

PS- I don't care if Sudan wants to reject peacekeepers. This mini-holocost needs to stop.
