Aaron's Rantblog has the news that a Bush diplomatic victory has led to truce in the civil war in Sudan. Almost a year ago, I was willing to send troops into Sudan.
AtlanticBlog notes that it's not a complete victory. The genocide in Darfur, however, remains unabated.

"Kristof asks why there is so much silence on the Sudan.
Islamic leaders abroad have been particularly shameful in standing with the Sudanese government oppressors rather than with the Muslim victims in Darfur. Do they care about dead Muslims only when the killers are Israelis or Americans?Is he asking this question seriously. One answer is yes. Another, probably better, answer, is that they do not care about dead Muslims at all, but complaining about Israelis and Americans is a way to keep attention away from their own appalling brutality."
No truer words can be spoken.
