Where's the U.N.?
Why won't the UN intervene in Sudan & stop the Arabic/Islamic terrorists from commiting genocide?
Why is it that the USA has to get the ball rolling?
Why are France, Germany, & Russia mum on the subject?
Sudanese Genocide

"4 June – UNICEF begins campaign to vaccinate 2 million children against measles, and at least 100,000 children against polio."
Some help.
At least the corpses won't carry measles or polio.

Because they're all incompetent pacificsts that would rather ignore the subject as they continue with their daily lives. Mum the entire subject and wait for the good ole USA to recognize the matter and implement another peacekeeping mission like always so there’s no chance of any backfire on their part.
Have them merely wait in the shadows hoping to pull the "Why Iraq and no Sudan" card to make us look like the bad guys, right?!
Did I mention incompetent?! :sigh:
Maybe we’re taking action without UN support (once again) because we know how “useful” they are [/sarcasm] (refer to picture once again).
Eventhough the UN has done little to help, nobody has ever coined the term "genocide" as what's happening because nobody wanted to be responsible. We'll see what happens...

Unfortunately, there's no reason for them to fix bayonets unless it was for this intended purpose to turn the FN into a lawn dart. Hard to say if the bayonet is fixed to the weapon as im not sure what size the bayonet is...

The UN can't do anything because your beloved Bush Jr. rendered them useless when he showed the world that even though we say we're pro-UN as a country, we don't give them s*** for respect and don't do things the way the rest of the world decides is right...what's the word for it...oh yeah renegade. We are UN renegades right now...so don't blame the UN for inaction, blame our gov't for scaring the living s*** out of the UN and the countrys who really do need it for help.

No, really it was Kerry's fault since he voted against funding the Sudan aid bill!
(I'm just kidding, I don't know if there ever was a sudan aid bill)

Are you kidding me? 
There's oil concessions all over central & southern Sudan... that's part of the reasons there's a struggle in the country.
When are you going to realize that it's the UN's job and interest to go into Sudan before the USA even considers going into it alone?
We're not going to exhaust more troops when we've already exhausted every swinging dick on two separate rotations (minus peacekeeping deployments). We've tested the waters in Africa before, remember? Now we have every Somalian kindly asking for our return one decade after they played stone the helicopter pilots in the streets.
The bottom line is the UN and other public officials have been throwing the idea of textbook genocide for years without ever getting their hands dirty. It's been a highly controversial debate and Colin Powell finally stepped up to the plate and said, "hey... innocent people are (and have been) being slaughtered here".
It shouldn't have ever come to Colin Powell's statement on Sudan! Members of the UN should have done what Powell did years ago which shows you how incompetent the UN is in these types of situations... they tuck their tail and leave someone else to pick-up the tab until it's safe enough to even consider participation.

The UN is one of the most corrupt, ineffective international organizations on the planet. Being UN renegades almost by default makes us the good guys IMO. And, on the original topic...the inaction concerning Sudan has more to do with the fact that Kofi Annan is elected by mainly the votes of african states (none of whom really want to start the ball rolling on intervention in Africa), than it does with anything else.

(The UN did, however, succeed for a while in withholding weapons from the anti-genocide RPF rebels!).
