NAIROBI (Reuters) - Pro-government Arab militias in western Sudan&#39;s Darfur region are carrying out systematic killings of African villagers reminiscent of the Rwandan genocide, a U.N. official said Friday.

"We have a vicious war going on which is leading to the violation of human rights on a scale comparable to historic situations, increasingly for example Rwanda," Mukesh Kapila, U.N. humanitarian coordinator for Sudan, told reporters.

Your the fighter for this fight, go fight.

I just think its disgusting that poliicians can determine which countries are worth helping and which are not.

Well who&#39;s supposed to determine it?

Is there to be a vote every time a country is in trouble?

Enlighten us all. [/b][/quote]
The point I was making is that what gives them the right to play God and save some from &#39;evil dictators&#39; (Iraq), oppressive regimes (Nicaragua) and civil war (Haiti), yet not others.

Of course, we do already vote on issues like this through the UN, whether the result of that vote is recognised by some countries is another matter all together.

Once enlighten us as to what takes precedence.

A more precise argument is what gives them the right at all. Then no is helped.

Well your "point" is about what gives them the right to choose which countries to help "versus" others.

The simple answer is the US helps who they want to help......just like any other country.

perhaps it would make more sencse to tackle the problems in our own countries before trying to solve anyone elses........ and to stop the production of weapons altogether might not be such a bad idea
