Re: [Marxism] Sudan

[Jon Flanders <jonathan.flanders@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

"There are no major oil reserves, no lucrative pipeline deals-nothing,
in fact, but an opportunity to prevent the deaths of several hundred
thousand destitute, sick and starving people. Under normal circumstances
this would not be enough to persuade the White House and the State
Department to get involved. But whether most Americans care or not, the
Republicans are now wedded to Sudan. And like the best of marriages,
this one was made in heaven."

Huh? This article is nonsense. Of course they are there for oil. The
problem is the Chinese, the Malaysians, and the Indians are there first,
they need to be elbowed out. Sanctions followed by troops should do it,
if they can get away with the Iraq scenario again.
