George Clooney and many liberals are running around saying we should go into Darfur. We should send troops in to stop the Genocide.
For the record, I agree with them.
But what I don't get, is that if we go in the chances of it turning into a complete quagmire are pretty high. Once we invade, then what? We set up a new government? Then how long do we stay? You know after a while the people will turn against us. Insurgents will start killing our soldiers. Darfur is a muslim area so the locals will start resenting the infidel presence. And the minute we leave won't the Arabs come in again and start killing people?
Wasn't the chances of Iraq turning out OK better than the chances a foray into Sudan having a positive end?
What is the difference?
From my point of view the risk is worth it. It may turn out worse, but we can't just stand by and let genocide continue.
