Yes Mark, play the "gang-rape" card, you're down low enough for that, easily. The campaign to intervene in Darfur is being orchestrated by those who want to be absolved of the "gang-rape" of the Middle East, Central America, and Southeast Asia. I haven't noticed a post by you decrying a well-publicized crime of that nature by our troops in Iraq. You're a hypocrite and a lunatic.

What I always want to ask these naysayers is - "Now, is this because the
slight chance of some hegemonic motivation makes you uncomfortable, or makes
the women and children being gang raped and thrown into bonfires
uncomfortable?"
Only in America... sigh
