Meanwhile, the atrocities continue while we do nothing

Arab militias are raping women in Sudan -- you know, that place where Powell used the word "genocide" to describe what's going on. That place where the head of USAID is watching refugees attack "aid workers" who won't let them talk to him and won't let them leave. That place where leaders with well-documented ties to al-Qua'ida are actively pursuing weapons of mass destruction. That place where hundreds if not thousands of innocent people are dying every day, from famine, disease, and violence.

Of course, dubya doesn't have a personal score to settle with the leaders of Sudan. So I guess his "pre-emptive" doctrine doesn't apply.
