And if you combine all that, you have Australia (except trade hocky for rugby I suppose). So why did he ever leave?
Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

Crap, you're right. I'm moving to Australia!

Did ever international criticism modify the behavior of an US president?
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?

I wonder if 'we' have many troops available left[^]. There are some in Chad that could give a hand. On the political side, I agree, France should take the lead at the UN, and if possible integrate this in an european process.

Karl - your link referenced, "national police". Are all police departments in France a part of the National Police or is that something like our FBI? Just curious, I have a son who spent 4 or 5 years in South Korea and they have a national police system with nothing locally controlled. It sort of makes sense except for the negatives of central control.

Why is there no international reaction to the widespread massacres?

There is, but the Anglosphere is currently busy with its own mess in Iraq. As we are the only international group who likes to play world policeman nothing will get done.

There are two kind of national polices. There are also 'town polices', but they have not the same rights and legal possibilities than the others. So, for the two national polices: - The "Gendarmerie[^]", which is a military corps and ensures police tasks in rural areas - The "Police Nationale[^]", which is a civilian corps and ensures police tasks in large towns. We are a centralized State, with a great emphasis on the equality in rights amongst all citizens. For the respect of the law, only a national police corps can ensure national continuity.

Unless the Wikipedia page on Darfur is "wrong" there has been international reaction for years. Bush was there last year making a deal. It didn't help, but he was there and he tried. The UN :rolleyes: has done, you know ... the normal UN stuff.

Remember Liberia Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, or Bosnia when the western powers stopped at last to play it nice. An interposition force can work, if it has the authorization to protect the civilians using any necessary mean. Political and economic sanctions can be a first step: no more business with Sudan, no more travel for sudanese officials.

Considering that China is doing booming business with Sudan I doubt very much that any sanctions will be passed, or, if they are, that they will be ignored by China (and probably Russia, Germany, France, Great Britain, the US,... :-D ) China doesn't give a crap what the world thinks of it (see Tibet) so hysterical condemnation won't change anything there. Darfur is screwed - there is not enough will in the west to help it. :(
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

We (the US) or we (the world)? I for one don't understand why the rest of the world seems to sit on their hands most of the time and whine that the US isn't doing enough for cause A or cause B. Also, what are the people of Darfur doing to help themselves?

We the US. I was being somewhat facetious, but not really. We do things in the world for our own interests.

Heh. And then complain that we screwed it up. If that's the case.

Don't know that they can in this case. Leave their country? What's available to them?
This statement was never false.
