Perhaps because Yankees say freedom and rights after every other sentence--especially on this board when faced with a dilemma they cannot defend. So by some boastful falseness in self-proclaiming freedom lovers, you've brought it upon yourself as a nation responsible for the world's freedom.

You "freed" Iraq, why not Sudan?

And for the record, DMC is correct, Sudan does have oil fields; but obviously not the kind worthy of bombing the country to bits for, a la the Middle East.
