I am aware the largest world humanitarian effort is under attack there and literaly hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died during this conflict. Why doesn't the UN or the US help this dire situation? Why are they not at least raising American awareness for this world tragedy? And if they are helping what are they doing?

The U.N. has already approved a plan to send troops in to support the few thousan African Union forces trying to stabilize the area. I think just recently the President of Sudan has agreed to allow U.N. troops in. It wasn't the U.N.'s who didn't want to go, but rather the President of the country who opposed allowing forces in. Also hasn't George Clooney been crying and whining about it for a while. Attempts to raise American awareness has been made and honestly noone cares, and who can blame them for not caring.

The UN won’t send in troops, because when the UN sends in troop, it’s mainly US troops being sent in. And the US doesn’t want to send in troops, because no matter what the US does its going to get criticized. Just look at anyplace the US has sent troops. We either don't do enough, or we're sticking our noses where it doesn't belong. The US comes out the loser not matter what. Then what side do we take? If we pick wrong, we wind up with another Saddam and look what kind of mess that caused. (the US put Saddam in power for all intents and purposes) Not so long ago the questions were, why doesn’t the UN and the US do something about Iraq? Remember, Saddam’s government was committing mass murder, mass rape, ETC. the UN passed resolution after resolution and what happened? Nothing. Other countries were more the happy to supply Iraq with whatever it wanted, France, Germany, ETC. So when the US finally did something look what happened.
Now the same people who are saying it was wrong to go into Iraq and blaming the US for all the trouble in Iraq, are asking why we’re not going into Darfur? If we do and things go wrong, who are they going to blame? The US that who. Personally, I think we should just stay out of it.
Just my opinion, right or wrong.

Well, there IS awareness on the Darfur tragedy. George Clooney has testified before Congress in late 2006 at least twice on the subject, asking for help.
I believe that since we are overextended in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other parts of the world, it's just not on the U.S. priority list.
We have given millions of dollars in aid to Darfur. What they've done with that money, is unclear.

they are. UN has forces there. they have been there since the conflict began. US was there but since the awareness went down so did their efforts. you know how politics works whatever is new and whatever is an issue the government shows up. its sad to see how those in darfur are suffering. the UN is doing its best. in fact i think its the leading one in the humanitarian efforts with all its organizations.

Often western bashers, bash on america to interfere in conflicts, but then when America interferes, they bash on it again "why you invaders invade other places and interfere?" I remember when US involved in Somalia, people crybaby and they hailed when US withdrew.. and same for Iraq, people were saying "why states don't remove Saddam, their puppet??" then American interefered, people said "invaders"... and so on... . same about Rawanda, many people bashed on US for not interfering..
now Darfur, although I encourage inteference, but US has right to say no.. US is not the only country in the world should care about HR. moreover, I think US is doing what they should do, they are pushing hardly in UN and on Sudan, more than any other government in the world... for sake of humanity, ppl go bash on Russia and China who just worship anyone pay them.

Believe it or not, the US can't do everything at once, or all alone.
No matter how horrible the atrocities, if the US tries to help, it immediately becomes the bad guy. For now, anyway.
The time will come, but by then the whole world will be involved.
We will see justice.

I wish this great powerful country could sit and the UN could do something. Because if future generations look back in history while a whole people is annihilated they will say......... Why didnt they do something?

If it doesn't benefit them, why would they do it? Put some oil in Darfur and the US would be there in a heart beat. I agree with you though something has to be done, but a smaller power will have to do it.

I have wondered that myself.Maybe it`s because they have no oil or any other resources for the rest of the world
