I see all this stuff about saving Darfur and the typical rigamarole of going through the UN and other Byzantine bureaucracies and it feels like a repeat of Bosnia or Rwanda to me. As in too little, too late!
Wouldn't it make more sense to train and arm the villagers of Darfur to defend themselves? I mean the Janjaweed militia is a bunch of yahoos on horses, for heaven's sake!
Horse Cavalry has been obsolete since WWI although it still was sparingly used in WWII. But 2007? Send them metal for making caltrops, a tripod with a metal spike sticking up. This was a classic way of detering cavalry. That and some machine guns and RPG's and a few stingers should do a lot to get the Sudanese Government's head out of its rectal cavity!!
What do you think? Am I right or out to lunch on this?

So by everyone in Darfur then having a gun, including the women and children, is that going to stop the fighting or make it worse. If they all just had something to eat everyday peace would have a much better chance. Lets arm them all with food and a way to meet their daily needs.
