Should the United States send troops into Darfur?
Well, Canada would help you, but unfortunately our government hasn't acted on genocide since the 1994 Rwandan Genocide..where the Canadian commander, Lt.Gen. Romeo Dallaire tried desperatly to aid the problem, but was denied the funding and troops he needed to keep things under control. People SHOULD try to stop this, as it's a terrible thing...but, unfortunately most of the people in power have the opinion that "africans can't be helped, we should just leave them and never go there". Terrible and inhumane, but its true the powers that be think that way.
This is why I study this stuff. I would like the help. But one person cannot do anything without power and forces to back him up, as was proved by the failed UN mission in Rwanda.
The UN is pretty useless, if you ask me. They do some good things, sure...but often they don't give enough effort to really solve the problem. And also, they did nothing when the US went into Iraq....Bush kinda said fuck you I'm going, and the UN went...well...we tried to stop it but oh well, we can't. Obviously they aren't a control over international relations like they were supposed to be when created.
Interestingly they did make a report of cannabis use, and Canada is #4 on the list. :thumbsup:
I just don't think peacekeeping works in some senses. But I would say that a genocide is almost worse than a war. Wars are violent and brutal...but in Rwanda, it took four months for 800,000 people to be cut to pieces with machetes. So let's examine that...4 months...approx. 120 days...if you divide the number of people killed by the amount of days, thats 6666.66(weird..:wtfpeople in A DAY!!!! Are 6 thousand people a day being butchered in Iraq?? Hellz no!
Which is more serious?
