genocide in sudan, where is the EU?

Question

ok, im an american, and i keep hearing that the usa needs to go to sudan to stop the genocide. however this would mean a large military operation, and lets face it, the us cant spare any troops from iraq. which leads to the question why isnt the european union sending its soldier to sudan? they have the reasources, what are they waiting for?! iraq to be over. the EU is by far the worlds lazyest power.

Answer 1

Lazy? Maybe. Pragmatic is the word I would use. They understand that ultimately each country must determine their own destiny, and people often get the government they choose by default. However, genocide is another matter. When evil triumphs, it is often because good men decide to do nothing.

Answer 2

The USA and Europe alike have both been lazy when it comes to intervention in Sudan.

But the problem is bit more complicated. An intervention would have to be under UN flag, but in order to have a UN intervention the host country (Sudan) should abree with it. YOu cant send a UN force without consent as this would be an invasive action, which is against the UN rules. And until verty recently, Sudan was against a UN force. Now it seems like a UN force has been accepted, under leadership of the African Union ( of which forces are already present).

Now the problem arises: Who supplies what and how many troops. This could be another hurdle as not too many member states seem to be willing to deliver quickly.

The USA has, like the EU, the duty to send troops over. Both parties are part of the UN, and a decision binds both parties.

We shall see what happens. The sad thing is that the help comes to late foor thousands of people.

Answer 3

The United States definitely has the resources to support the crisis in Darfur.

But the negative impact of the war in Iraq, the secret allocation of billions of dollars a year to support Israel, and the generally subpar performance of the Bush administration, is deterring many nations from contributing to the effort.

According to liberals we won't fight in Sudan because there's no oil. Maybe they would be better if they stood up and fought for themselves anyway.
