Tariq, Unfortunately, you have no argument. The last time I checked the US was a country, responsible primarily for its citizens and its allies, and the UN was a world body that is responsible for resolving international conflicts. In Africa there is an African Union that is primarily responsible, not to mention previous colonial powers which do not include the US. Yet, the US has given Sudan and Africa more financial aid than the rest of the world put together. As usual, you are not facing up to the fact that the US does not intervene militarily until the UN has had a chance to negotiate a settlement and there is an established ultimatum on the table. In Iraq the UN tried for 12 long years and failed. There was an ultimatum on the table called UN resolution 1441. In the Sudan, Iran and N. Korea the UN is still working on the problem, and the US has no basis for intervening militarily just yet. --- Mario Goveia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You critics cannot have it both ways.

Perhaps if you reflect on this a little bit more you will realize the strength this argument. -Tariq
