Discuss… do you think USA Expolit the situation In Darfur Sudan?

Question

Do you think USA EXPLOIT the situation in darfur Sudan to improve its media Reputation

& And do you think USA exploit The UN "United Nation" to pass its Foreign Affairs Policies

Answer 1

Absolutely. The western imperialist powers are behind the Darfur rebellion and the US uses the war to attack the capacity of the UN to solve problems.

Of course, the UN was not designed to solve civil wars, but aggression between member states.

The same aggression the US routinely practices against countries from Iraq to Panama to Vietnam!

Answer 2

I don't know if one could say the U.S. is "exploiting" the situation in Darfur. Bush himself and Kofi Annan both publicly acknowledged that genocide, plain and simple, is occurring in Darfur. And many U.S. industries have already divested from Sudan and encourage others to do so as well: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-farrow5feb05,0,7343540.story?coll=la-opinion-rightrail

One country that is - if not encouraging - then at least ignoring the genocide is China, which buys most of Sudan's oil: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21143-2004Dec22.html
The Chinese president recently gave Sudan's worthless non-elected Islamic fundamentalist "president," Omar al-Bashir, a loan to *build a new presidential palace.* What the *****.

Anyway, the U.N. has troops set up and ready to go to deploy to Darfur. (Though I doubt the U.N. is that much help anyway, even when it's actually in a country.) The troops are largely being thwarted by al-Bashir. He's worked furiously to keep both the media and the U.N. out of the country. Rather than employing the national military to put down the black farmer rebels, al-Bashir's government has funded bands of citizen militias because they have much more freedom to commit atrocities without notice and to generally spread terror. This situation makes me think we picked the wrong dictator to knock off.

Answer 3

since America is one of the few "free, uncensored" sources of media in the world... i dont think it worries much about its reputation.. if people are going to propagandize against it, like the Taliban, Hugo Chavez and Al-Jazeera.. then they are going to and American media can't do much about it..

America does not actively work with Sudan, nor Darfur.

The UN has ultimate control over the Darfur situation.. Its in charge. Its the one failing. Its failure is a fact. You cant say american media is exploiting its failures to pass its own forgein affairs policies... its called being responsible, taking action, and fixing the problem the best we can. Something we should have done before the Iraq War, when Clinton was in charge as the UN made a laughable attempt to inspect Iraq properly..

Answer 4

Keep watching the news! Bush is trying to plant a foot in Mali, Sudan and Gambia. His staff is working on something with Ethiopia too. He is going to exploit more than PR.

Answer 5

i think this admin would exploit anything they could to get a good reputation.

Answer 6

I think we've ignored it more than anything.


For your second question, no. The UN is worthless.

Answer 7

hi now doll. I gained't get into to a lot yet does the U.S. imagine they opt to be "in touch" in yet another united states to impose our concept of democracy & freedom with the intention to help our lust & greed for oil? shouldn't we be more advantageous in touch and in touch to end the inhumanity & genocide of non-arab people there? We wave our flag of "freedom" yet we proceed to enable this attrocious & disgusting disaster flow on because our "international kin" tells us now to not. Hmmm...double-time-honored democracy, possibly?
