I think the US needs to stop helping countries everywhere, and give some help to the citizens of their own country once in a while, the US has poor,homeless,starving and diseased people who can't afford care. I'm not worried about Dafur and the Sudan because things there will never change. This country needs to care for its own. |

Well lets see. The entire world economy revolves around oil. Lots of oil lives underground in the middle east. If we needed lots of dirt and flies darfur might be a priority, but I don't know about you my car doesn't run on flies. :( |

Darfur? Sudan? Where's the profit in helping them? |

The presidents job is to protect our interests abroad. Dafur and Sudan have very little to offer, yes its horrible what happening there but why hasn't the UN or Europe gotten involved? Because Dafur and Sudan don't make. The middle east has the worlds most precious resource. The real reason we are there is to combat Islamic fascism (Which USES terrorism as its method of combat) and prevent them form gaining control of the Oil. Is that a noble reason? No but it does make our lives easier in the long run. Its not the job of the rich to take care of the poor. It may be the morally right thing to do but not at the expense of American lives. Dafur and Sudan would be American losses with no gain for the US. American losses in Iraq will pay out in the long run as long as we continue to fight Islamic Fascism. |

Oil. And Israel's security is a factor. |

You're wrong. Saddam was guilty of genocide too - rememer the Kurds and poison gas? Seems odd that you complain about the involvement in Iraq but want the US to get involved in other countries. Isn't that an oxymoron? The Iraqi people are not suffering nearly as much as with Saddam and his death squads killing people. Can you imagine going to school and if you say the wrong thing, you and your family just "disappear"! |

Wait, Iraq is not our business but these other countries are? Was Clinton's daughter in the military when he sent men to Somalia? No, what did we learn from leaving Somalia without finishing the job? We are back 13 years later to finish the job! |

I think he would if his daughter was in the military, you're retarded only 3,000 have died (600,000 civil war 400,000 WW2). Anyway, Your question is unclear, just like when a black person talks to. If we should invade Sudan and Darfur because of genocides, one country at a time, people are already pissed off at bush for invading Iraq. |

Because Bush states ,"He tried to kill my Dad , I'm going in after him", that is reason for the Iraq invasion. Was all these troops coming back in caskets and some maimed beyond recognition worth one 80 year old man. I think not. |

Okay, first... look at a globe/atlas/map: Darfur is a region OF the country of SUDAN. THIS conflict is a Civil War... just the sort of thing so many American's don't want to be involved in.
The mass media have described the conflict as both "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide." The United States government has described it as genocide, although the United Nations has declined to do so.
On August 31, 2006, the United Nations Security Council approved Resolution 1706 which called for a new 17,300-troop UN peacekeeping force to supplant or supplement a poorly funded, ill-equipped 7,000-troop African Union Mission in Sudan peacekeeping force.
Sudan strongly objected to the resolution and said that it would see the UN forces in the region as foreign invaders. The next day, the Sudanese military launched a major offensive in the region.
And YES, we fight for oil... it's called REALPOLITIK.
And I am SO @*&%ing SICK of hearing the "president's daughter" question. |

As for the suffering now, don't you think there was more suffering under Saddam.
Its all the individual sects that were kept in check under Saddam that are causing all the problems.
Another Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine, North and South Korea, a divided country. |

Iraq will surely become a breeding ground for terrorists if US leaves them alone. Also, Iran would like to move in and become a superpower to rival the US. |

The answer to your question is a far more sinister reason than the American people are willing to accept (or most of the world for that matter). The Internet is the largest and most intelligent entity. If you ask it to show you your answer, she will, you just gotta know how to ask and which site to seek the answer. I'd be more specific but there's a lot if ignorance I'd much rather not listen to right now, but my motto is "The ugly truth is far more beautiful than the perfect lie." |

I totally agree with you. Because no one paid attention to Africa,
HIV aids surfaced. That should have been a clue to world
leaders, but I guess, they were over come with greed.
Just think, all the billions they've spent for war, they could
have used that money to research an alternative fuel source.
No one can tell me it can't be done - Brazil did it & now they
are no longer dependent on foreign oil. |

We ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON OIL 100,000's of thousands would die immediately if their was no more oil tomorrow WE care for ourselves first oh yea were too cheap to pay ALLOT for OIL |

Because there is not as much to be gained helping the desperate people of Darfur. Since the government controls the oil, not the ones that are being murdered, the US doesn't care. Halliburton is making a killing in Iraq. The word of the day is OIL.
EDIT: Genocide is still happening in Iraq, the Iraqi's are suffering even more since the US invaded. Hatred between the Sunnis and Shiites has increased to epic proportions. Saddam was a horrible person, but at least Iraq was stable. They don't want us there! Everyone knows that when we leave it will eventually revert back to a Dictatorship under some Sunni or Shiite militant. |

It appears that you missed certain parts of the chain of events leading to the reason why the US is spending billions to rebuild Iraq. If I recall it correctly, the events are more or less like the ff:
1. US through the CIA trained and supported Osama Bin Laden and his Al Quieda fighters to defeat the Russian which conquered Afghanistan.
2. After defeating Russia, the US outlawed Al Quieda.
3. Iraq invaded Kuwait. US launched Desert Storm and pushed back Iraq.
4. Iraq allegedly developed biological weapons and used it to kill Kurds insurgents
5. US warned to stop this development and not provide sanctuary for Al Quieda which has been killing American soldiers and terrorizing American interests worldwide
6. 9/11 allegedly by Al Quieda
7. US invaded Iraq to flush out Osama and his Al Quieda
8. Iraq put up a fight
9. US captured and tried Saddam
10. US now rebuilding Iraq
Billions are also being channeled by the US to support poor countries through WHO, FAO, UNICEF, UNESCO, etc. |
