The 'world hates us' thing goes all the way back... I'd say even back to Monroe Doctrine (Euros piss off in Americas. It's US turf now) Abrasive US foreign policy is something constant since the independence from Britain.
I think Bush pushed Darfur as much as he can. Because US is so despised by a lot of Muslim countries, US cannot be seen as taking the lead against another Muslim nation. (Or it'd be another Zionist crusaders invading holy Islamic land thingy)
So US can try to get others to take the lead in Darfur, but with substantial interference from Sudan backed by China, nothing much is going on. Esp. since everyone has to work within UN (which is a total joke) |
yes China is a major obstacle for us, and so is Sudan's resources. GWB doesnt wanna piss off the khartoum because the government can give him things that he needs. But, at the same time, he has to show the international community that he is not sitting on his ass, letting the "genocide" continue, so he imposes sanctions. wtf!! GWB putting sanctions on the country isnt gonna do shit but make him look like he is doing something positive. please.
The khartoum is happy because they know it wont affect them much, and the rest of the world kinda looks on like "oh, ok, so he IS doing something about it, sooooo I guess we can leave him alone now." meantime, people are still getting slaughtered and raped by the janjaweed on a daily basis. This is what I am talking about with f*cked up foreign policy. We only do shit that works for us, despite people being tortured in their own daily lives in order to do so.
