By going into Iraq and by Bush telling countries with dictators that they will be free, we're, in essence, telling the world that we will help them without actually saying it. Did you see that Bush recently added Cuba and Castro to his Axis of Evil?
To my knowledge, some African nations are actually against the UN and its' peace treaty! They're supporting the genocide!
-Pat I don't know if I really agree with your logic behind telling the world we will help them. That's simply impossible, we can only do so much good (or bad a lot of times). And no, I didn't hear that Bush added Cuba to the Axis of Evil. I'll have to read about that.
The Africa thing? I'm sure there are plenty of countries that are against the UN going into the Sudan and imposing treaties and whatnot, but I don't think this amounts to a tacit support of genocide. There are myriad reasons why a country would be against this, not the least of which is valueing the independence of a neighboring country, or the fear that your own country could be next. You have to understand, there is a lot of ignorance about this genocide, and people not supporting the UN resolutions in Sudan are probably either unaware of it, or simply not taking it into acount. Certainly no one (well, some people I guess would) would support genocide, tacitly or otherwise.
