UN to send 26,000 troops to Darfur

A very good move in the right direction by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. There is plenty of hard work and diplomacy ahead but even getting to this stage required an enormous effort, starting back during the tenure of Kofi Annan. It would be nice to see China be more constructive in situations such as this but then again, the US government is often lacking as well with friendly countries who offer rich natural resources. Expanding power internationally cuts both ways, which China will discover, though they are already highly unpopular with the population in countries such as Zimbabwe where they continue to prop up a tumbling dictatorship.
