Forgotten Darfur

By Douglas V. Gibbs

"Save Darfur" has been a rallying cry by Leftists as long as I can remember. I am not criticizing them for recognizing the need for help in the region. Darfur, Sudan is a horrendous thing. The death is unimaginable. The horror is inconceivable. The problem is that the Left does not understand how to properly address the problems in Sudan.

Now, after pledging to be proactive in Darfur, Obama has failed in yet another one of his campaign promises.

There is a growing risk that Sudan will be the site of the world’s bloodiest war in 2011, and perhaps a new round of genocide as well. Obama is not to blame, but the liberals are beginning to wonder why Obama has not even considered Darfur to be one of his priorities.

While dangling carrots in front of Sudan, hoping to encourage the Arab Muslims of the north to behave, which is Obama's naive tendency with complex military situations, he has refused to take any tough actions - which makes me wonder, Does Obama understand what is truly happening on the ground in Sudan?

Surprise, surprise, the problem in Sudan, and specifically the Darfur region, is Islam. The Muslims are trying to force Shariah on the entire country, and as a result the Muslims have engaged in bloody campaigns against the infidels.

Ahh, but it hasn't stopped there. The Arab Muslims to the North are also taking out the Black Muslims to the south.

So what is the only way to save Darfur?

If the slaughtering is to be stopped, the slaughterers must be stopped, and that can only be accomplished by an invasion similar to the one in Iraq. Except this time it would need to be quick, concise, precise, and devastating to the enemy.
