Why no attention paid to the ethnic cleansing of Sub-Saharan Africans by Northern African Muslims in the Sudan? Talk about racism. ***** SRL: The post forwarded was from a group of people that discuss the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Samaria and Judea. They generally don't comment on atrocities elsewhere. Just as this list is for discussion of libertarianism and Libertarian politics, we don't generally discuss what happens within say, the Green Party. So, put down the bong or take some ritalin (or whatever you do to stay focused) and try to stay on topic. **** Eric: The United States, and George Bush, have blood on their hands for not lifting a finger to help the non-Muslim Sudanese. This is a shameful moment in our US foreign policy, almost as bad as when Jimmy Carter sat back and DID NOTHING to help the 2 million Cambodians being slaughtered by Pol Pot or Clinton doing nothing about the slaughter of the Tutsis at the hands of the Hootoos in Ruwanda in the 1990s. Shameful. ***** SRL: In that case, the US foreign policy has been shameful since the founding. Indeed, President Jefferson allowed the despot Napoleon to ravage most of Europe. As a matter of fact, one could say that the US helped to bankroll this despot by offering to buy New Orleans and ending up spending twice as much to buy the entire Napoleonic claim in North America (mainly the western watershed of the Mississippi River). The founders even opposed the meddling in the affairs of other nations. Maybe this has something to do with the Constitutional prohibition on standing armies. ***** Eric: We'll all look back at this years from now and say that Bush's inaction in the Sudan to stop the Muslim genocide against Non-Muslim Africans was his biggest failure as President. ***** SRL: OTOH, we might look at this as a lesson and a motivation to return to the US Constitution and it's protections. I'm not even going to get into a circle jerk conversation about Bush's BIGGEST failure as President. PEACE Steven R.
