U.S. Sen. Joe Biden said that he would commit U.S. forces immediately to stop militia in Sudan's Darfur region as long as there were reports of genocide.
Biden, a presidential candidate and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on Monday that in his personal opinion nations had at "some point to cede their sovereignty" if they engaged in genocide.
1. The idea of ceding sovereignty is bad, bad, bad. At what point does the US start to lose its own sovereignty for what happen to American Indians?
2. What mission would you have US troops accomplish in Darfur? What's the goal? The end-state? Democrats are happily cheering for the Bushies' downfall over a flawed execution of a bad strategy in Iraq, in large part criticizing the lack of clear end-state to be achieved. Now they want to send troops into the latest bleeding-heart cause. Guess what? There's no clear end-state there, either...
