While no one asked Obama to attack Libya, where he is risking American lives for reasons known only to himself, he HAS been asked to interfere in Darfur where, according to Darfur Daily News blog (http://darfurdaily.blogspot.com/2010/01/obama-must-act-to-stop-slaughter-in.html more than 400,000 people have died and the United Nations' estimates put the displaced at 2 million.
A more complete story is found on the Hearst Corporation's Times-Union in Albany NY at http://tinyurl.com/49w27mg.
The blog and newspaper headline screams: "Obama must act to stop slaughter in Darfur." Click on the Times-Union URL above to read the article.
Obama claimed, on television, that he is sending Americans into danger for "humanitarian" reasons - "humanitarian" meaning he's siding with anti-government forces in Libya.
Will he side with anti-government forces in Syria that have been murdered by Bashar al-Assad, or will he support his friend whose primary goal is to reclaim - with Obama's help - the Golan Heights so Syria can once again easily attack Israeli citizens with rockets and mortars.
Will he side with Yemen's dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who is in the U.S.' pocket, or will he side with the rebels as he is doing in Libya?
To be fair, the slaughter in Darfur was going on before Obama took office and has been ignored by presidents of both parties.
Curious what makes a president ignore one tragedy and aggravate others.
