...region of Sudan into Chad has captured growing attention in the U.S. due to belated media coverage and aggressive advertising by concerned groups, but the prospects in Washington dealing with the problem effectively seem slim. Darfur, is only one of a pox of conflicts that, together with HIV/AIDS, are causing the death of more and more people in parts of Africa, thus robbing it of the potential of mineral, oil, and gas deposits. Where it not for Iraq, WA. might have acted to stop what the Bush administration admits is a genocide in Darfur, or taken steps to prevent the take over of Somalia by an al Quaeda affiliated group. Unfortunately, even supporting small presence of U.S. Special Forces to lead a U.N. approved coalition peacekeeping force is beyond the the capability of the badly stretched U.S. military.
