Why don't we just bomb Khartoum to the ground to stop the genocide in Sudan?

Question

Wouldn't that make them stop the genocide? No need to commit troops or peacekeepers. Just scare the crap out of them.

lol j/k, but I feel sorry for how those people are treated.

actually not kidding, screw those murderers

yeah true about that. but diplomacy doesn't work either. We can't just watch them die can we?

Answer 1

yeah it's sad. But how can we stop centuries of tribal conflict????

Answer 2

Using violence to stop violence does not work?

It sometimes does, actually it even sometimes prevents a war.

How?

You know why America and Russia (the super power nation) was a bit on peace after the cold war?

It is because both country are ready to attack each other at any given time and situation. It's like attack me, I'll attack you and vice versa. Both countries have enough nuclear bomb to destroy each other and other neighboring countries.

You know why there's always a war or attack? Because at this world, survival of the fittest rules. The stronger always try to destroy/claim the weaker.

Ex. Iraq attacked Kuwait, Kuwait is rich but weak country. Iraq thinks that they can claim Kuwait, fortunately there's America and ally nations to rescue.

This is not an ancient times that you could claim the land you land-on. We are on a modern established world. I just feel sorry for Saddam.

Back to the topic: Yes, Lets bomb Khartoum to the ground to stop the genocide in Sudan, Let's use nuclear bomb okay.

Answer 3

The more genocide that devastates the population the easier it will be in the future to step in and take advantage of any remaining natural resources, plus Sudan is 1/4 the size of the U.S.

For now let Chad, the Central African Republic, Egypt. Libya, Ehtiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo deal with Sudan.

Why isn't the U.N. doing anything about Sudan?

Here are some resources the U.S. can eventually exploit after genocide has taken it's toll: cotton, groundnuts (peanuts), sorghum, millet, wheat, gum arabic, sugarcane, cassava (tapioca), mangos, papaya, bananas, sweet potatoes, sesame; sheep, livestock, oil, cotton ginning, textiles, cement, edible oils, sugar, soap distilling, shoes, petroleum refining, pharmaceuticals, armaments and automobile/light truck assembly.

Answer 4

If you are referring to "We" as the United States, no president or any Congress has been willing to promote an aggressive stance in Khartoum.

The United States has "pumped" billions of dollars into the Sudan under the guise of "humanitarism"; but, no administration, Democrat or Republican, has been willing to commit to the complete annihalition of the government that controls this part of the world.

Answer 5

I'm glad you added the 'j/k' part. You haven't forgotten the Iraqi war, have you? It would seem that violence hasn't really done much for Iraq at this point. You don't seriously think it would do anything for Sudan, do you?

Edit: Stand by and watch them die? What gives you the right to impose your ideals on them in the first place? I agree that genocide is wrong, but look at the number of innocent civilians that have died in Iraq because of this totally immoral war, led by duplicitous men who lied to the nation in order to invade. Diplomacy doesn't work for Bush, because Bush wants to run in with guns in hand. The US is hated the world over because of him and his policies. Depending upon what study you read, the numbers of innocent civilian deaths are hitting as high as 650,000! Who is killing whom, now?

Answer 6

The bomb might want to must be able to dam the influx winds, disrupt the updraft, block the wind shear, and block the rear flank downdraft in order to end a tornado. I especially doubt that a bomb might want to be efficient in doing all that.

Answer 7

The crazy ones over there want to kill a middle aged woman over an error in judgment and have refused troops from Scandinavia due to the cartoons in a paper last year.
If the genocide could be directed against them, the country might improve.

Answer 8

Well that's not genuis, kill everyody to stop a genocide, let's bomb the whole world to get rid of people with idea like yours

Answer 9

Because there are too many innocent people there who would be bombed too.

Having seen the nutso reaction over the Teddy Bear in that same country, are you even surprised that people are killing one another?

Answer 10

there is no financial gain to the US nor would there be any situation in the foreseeable future where the US would ever need anything from that country. the US is run exactly like a business. the US only helps those that can help us now or in the future

Answer 11

Kill people... to stop the killing? That's like breaking an arm and trying to repair it with a hammer.
