Military intervention in Darfur, Sudan and the other African countries guilty of mass killings, and human sufferings would be a great and honorable cause for any country. Truth is, no one is interested in taking on the job. Since the days of the Persian Gulf war, Iraq lay rather quietly across the ocean and desert, being no eminent threat to America. Allegedly we were there to aid Kuwait and that was accomplished during the former President Bush's administration.
