What kind of commitment should US forces have in Sudan, and do you think this will be affected by the upcoming election? should the US take a lead role again, or shuold this be more UN led?

The only one right now should be an assessment of the death toll in Darfur, natch, before forwarding this infoz to a UN task force.

I don't care who leads an effort, but someone needs to be doing something here

Who hijacked this board and turned it into an obscuro-politicalle discussion?

gabbneb, surely if one country leads it without UN assent, we are just heading over the same problems/issues as with previous imperialism? causing more problems than solutions? i'd like to think we were moving away from one country taking up the bat and deciding to go right some wrongs somewhere

A judge is expected on Monday to hear an application calling for Bashir's arrest, though this appears unlikely as South Africa's government has granted legal immunity to all African Union delegates.
South African President Jacob Zuma's ruling African National Congress (ANC) responded furiously to Sunday's court order, accusing the Hague-based ICC of seeking to impose selective Western justice by singling out Africans.
"The ANC holds the view that the International Criminal Court is no longer useful for the purposes for which it was intended," the ANC said in a statement.
"Countries, mainly in Africa and Eastern Europe ... continue to unjustifiably bear the brunt of the decisions of the ICC, with Sudan being the latest example."

JOHANNESBURG — President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan, who faced arrest on charges of crimes against humanity and genocide, appeared to have slipped out of South Africa on Monday morning, dealing a serious blow to the International Criminal Court’s six-year campaign to bring him to justice.
