This is not a religious war it is a war over oil rights, mineral rights and water rights. American corporations have had their "Armies" in the Sudan for years.

The Neocons literally feed on fear and death. They profit from it. They sell weapons to anyone that will buy and while everyone is fighting they rape the land of its natural resources.

It is amazing that the drought and famine never seem to reach the rich isn't it?

All the world should be turning to Africa right now but instead we are in Iraq and the longer it goes on the richer the war mongers get.

We could put a stop this by simply stopping the weapon sales.

The foreign policy risks of escalating arms exports are enormous. Most U.S. weaponry is sold to the Middle East and other strife-torn regions, helping to fan the flames of war instead of promoting stability. More than 40 percent of the international sales of major conventional weapons between 1984 and 1994 went to nations at war such as Iraq, Somalia and Sudan, according to the United Nations Development Program's 1994 Human Development Report. Civilians are increasingly the major victims of war. They accounted for half of all war deaths during the first half of this century, 64 percent in the '60s and 74 percent in the '80s. The share of civilian casualties appears to be higher still in the '90s. The United States has been a major arms supplier to nations at war. Since 1985, participants in 45 ongoing conflicts received over $42 billion worth of U.S. weapons, according to a 1995 World Policy Institute report. Among the major conflicts in 1993 and 1994 90 percent involved one or more parties that had received U.S. weapons or military technology prior to the out break of fighting.

It is big business and the top leaders of this country are profiting dearly.

And then what happens? OUR soldiers get killed with their own US weapons it is happening right now.



Yeah, all of this "it's all America's fault" nonsense is much more exciting than sitting down and doing the hard work necessary to save these lives.

BTW, :error:

1 Yes this is a religious war, it's genocide-ethnic cleansing based on "religion"


2 The Muslim (Arab) Government in Katun is not killing the Christian (black African) minority in Darfur with American weapons.
Ozarks Reviewed by Ozarks on . Genocide (mods if this is in the wrong forum, sorry. Thought I would save you the trouble of moving it :) ) Why don't we take action on genocide that is happening around the world? Why let people die a needless death? Instead we turn a blinded eye on these people. Some of you want to give Iran an "eye for an eye" if they nuke Israel, but we would be no better then these people in the end.
