Justice for Darfur

Until the killers and their sponsors are prosecuted and punished, violence will continue on a massive scale. Ending it may well require military action..
There has been a groundswell of public support for action. People may disagree on how to intervene -- airstrikes, sending troops, sanctions, divestment -- but we all should agree that the slaughter must be stopped and the perpetrators brought to justice.
It has become clear to me that there will be no enduring peace without justice. History shows that there will be another Darfur, another exodus, in a vicious cycle of bloodshed and retribution. But an international court finally exists. It will be as strong as the support we give it. This might be the moment we stop the cycle of violence and end our tolerance for crimes against humanity.
What the worst people in the world fear most is justice. That's what we should deliver.

Liberals love humanitarian military actions. Clinton ate up Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, etc. Yet ending evil regimes like Saddam's are over the top. I hate what is happening in Darfur, but it is a political problem (That is what the RATS are saying about Iraq), and the Sudanese need to figure it out.

I consider Iraq a humanitarian action.

What's the difference between genocide in Darfur and Saddam killing up to a million of his own people? What hypocrisy from the left.
