I don't think it is an accident that we have chaos in Kenya, LRA attacks in S. Sudan and now Chad...I think the common denominator is the GOS...they are very shrewd. If the rebels take over Chad, the Darfur refugees will be completely surrounded by those supported by the GOS. It's horrible and what is as horrible is that the international community's response is to sit around and wring its hands but go right back to life as usual...sorry to vent...but I don't think it is asking too much of the UN to demonstrate just a bit of backbone such as applying the toughest multi-lateral sanctions possible on GOS leaders so that they too experience a little discomfort. I also think it is well past time for the US to turn over intelligence to the ICC - one of our diplomats was just murdered for pete's sake - how exactly is our relationship with the GOS benefiting us? Prendergast has been pushing this for years now and yet it doesn't get done and the GOS gets bolder and bolder -- it is ridiculous! How many people have to suffer -- does the whole region have to go up in smoke before we wake up and realize there is actually something more important than our global obsession with money and entertainment?!
