The United States of America is not the world police, nor should we try to be. George Bush and the former Republican controlled Congress got so much criticism for going to Iraq in the first place. What would they get if they decided to invade Darfur or other countries like Iran which pose a much bigger threat toward the U.S.A.? The same criticism they received for going to Iraq. What makes people think that if we do invade Darfur it will be any easier than Iraq or Vietnam? Don’t get me wrong I think that the genocide that is happening in this place is a horrible thing, but why is it the United States’ responsibility to invade and liberate these people?
The government went to Iraq with more intentions of just getting Saddam Hussein out of power. They were trying to stop the harboring of terrorists, find the “WMD”s, that seemed to disappear, and there is one key ingredient in Iraq, OIL. Darfur and the Sudanese are posing no immediate threat to the people of the United States. Their government is not threatening us, they are not harboring terrorists, and they don’t have the weapons of mass destruction, as far as we know. If we started to invade every country in the world that has problems, then we would get so many more people killed and spend so much more money that we don’t have. America has to look out for its best interest, even if the public wants to think otherwise.
