All Governments Act More on Politics than Principle
David Adesnik at Oxblog has an interesting March 5, 2005 post headlined "YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO SAID THIS. (REALLY. NEVER.) "
Europeans cannot criticize the United States for waging war in Iraq if they are unwilling to exhibit the moral fiber to stop genocide by acting collectively and with decisiveness...Every day that goes by without meaningful sanctions and even military intervention in Sudan by African, European and if necessary U.N. forces is a day where hundreds of innocent civilians die and thousands are displaced from their land. Every day that goes by without action to stop the Sudan genocide is a day that the anti-Iraq war position so widely held in the rest of the world appears to be based less on principle and more on politics.
"That's right," Mr. Adesnik said."Howard Dean. Maybe there's hope for this guy after all. (Hat tip: Aziz P.")
Questions: What's keeping the U.N. Security Council from imposing sanctions on Sudan? Secondly, does European inaction on Sudan justify the continued occupation of Iraq? I say: no.
