I had forgotten about South Sudan's imminent independence (which really doesn't seem to be happening). The media seems to have completely forgotten Darfur
But we seem to consider that one Africa's problem for whatever reason, maybe since Sudan never really did anything to us (aside from harboring bin Laden for a while), though we are intervening in Somalia to stop al-Shebab
The decision-making process isn't perfect, but i still maintain that it was an ideological bind, partly becuase the media was really paying attention to what was going on in Libya, and because Libya has had more relations with the West in general (poor relations, but still)

So it's more the "Not liking us" thing then the genocide thing. Since Sudan was way worse.
That's funny, i thought you were against the Iraq war. The same arguements were made for that war and were just as valid.
The only good thing about Obama starting this war is that if McCain started it we'd be in it even more deep.

I was opposed to starting it like we did, which involved very contrived evidence, much different from what is going on in Libya
By the time I really started thinking about politics (in time for the 04 election), i already knew that we had to stick it out in a sort of "we made this mess, we clean it up," kind of way, so i never agreed with the whole Cindy Sheehan Moveon.org crowd in that regard

Ha, so we have the same opinion on that one then.
Ironically, unlike Iraq... this war I could believe was done "for the oil."
Of course we'll see how that bears out once the rebels are in power and the new oil contracts come out... but so far the rebels seem to be proporting a pretty big Anti-Russia, Anti-China agenda.
