Military force is needed to intervene to halt the genocide The need for an international standing army to prevent horrendous massacres is no more clearly demonstrated than in the case of Sudan's cursed Darfur zone, which is in free fall.

Your worries about Africa and famine and genocide tug at the heart strings but like the mental health system trying to stem suicide conventional efforts to avert the crises that you are so aware of seem to amplify the problems rather than abate them. I know it is a counsel of despair but maybe it would be better in the long run if Africa were left to solve its own problems and let nature take its course. Like "who is inviting who in?" and "why?"
Forgive me for entering the debate because my understanding of the situation in Darfur is dim and I have no appreciation of the subtleties of the situation.

Iraq is planning to tap the small Ahdab oil field, in central southern Iraq, with development work starting soon, reported TradeArabia. Initial output would be about 30,000 bpd, rising to 90,000 bpd within two years. The field had previously been awarded to the China National Petroleum Corporation and the Chinese arms manufacturer Norinco by Saddam Hussein but an Iraqi official said the contract could be renegotiated.
