Sure he calls upon nations to help stop the genocide in Darfur - stating that there needs to be more force than merely peace-keeping troops - but where are we? Why is he calling for aid in Darfur, yet we aren't giving the situation there enough military support? The economy rules our military investments and currently the situation in Iraq takes presidence.<BR/><BR/>I don't think the United States needs to play "watchdog" to the world; since the state is the major employer of human rights we have no obligation to foreign nationals. Though this may sound cruel and isolationist, we cannot pick and choose our battles if we start to enter one. There is only so much we as a country can do. If we start up multiple military investments to "democratize" the world I think we will create a homogenized world society. The beauty of our world is the diversity with which each state governs itself and the differences in thought. We cannot commit acts of omission and feel morally at peace, but I think acts of omission are a world issue and they need to be addressed on a global scale. The UN needs to step up and find a way to implement regulations on unfair states.Tylarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260490401496045838noreply@blogger.com
