NOW Bush listens to Arabs -- when he shouldn't
In Iraq, Bush didn't give a rat's ass what the Arab world, or anyone else, thought. But the Arab world was right and he was wrong.On Sudan, the Arab states are wrong, continuing to back one of their own, no matter how racist and murderous it gets. What does Bush do? He listens to them:
The United States on Thursday softened the threat of U.N. sanctions against Sudan in a draft resolution pressuring the Khartoum government to rein in Arab militias in the western Darfur region.
And, repeating Clinton's cowardice in Rwanda in 1994, the administration is careful to avoid actually using the G-word, which would not only legalize but mandate international intervention.
Seven Security Council members oppose even sanctions on Sudan, let alone the use of force to stop the genocide.
Even Angola, a black African country. Shameful.
