Darfur crisis worsens since peace agreement

Danforth must have a real Midas touch going since he led the UN team down to Africa. Unfortunately this is one of those cases where special interests by some on the UN Security Council are getting in the way of doing more. Between weapons sales and the hope for oil drilling rights, some countries have clouded vision. The US tied its hands with the fiasco in Iraq so we have limited options to seriously address this problem. Clearly the African Union is going to have to step up its own efforts because I just do not see this administration actively helping out Africa unless it somehow involves sex, as we previously witnessed with the $15B AIDS package which is centered around the silly, unproven abstinence programs. You might be shocked to see how our tax money is being spent over there.
