Important step for Darfur

The commitment of 20,000 UN troops to the Sudan is an important step to try to stop all of the killing there in Darfur. It is also interesting to note that it is African countries committing a large amount of troops to help in the effort.

This kind of help is something that the African continent has been trying to focus on for many years. African nations have been trying to to break the bonds of colonialism by dealing with continental problems "in house" if you will. I believe that this is a positive way of doing things and that the increased communication and help between African nations will be good for the continent as a whole.

But the French Foreign Legion will always be there to kick ass whenever they feel like it.

The two people that come to mind are Bono and Al Gore. Inside advisors like Bono think this will be good for the Foregin policy of Gore. He is the reason that the UN decided this action didn't you know? Expect a presidential run in 2012(Horrible idea for a horrible person).

On a more serious note, it will be interesting to see what role the United States plays in this matter. Considering all of our citizens who push action in that region.
