Question for our European and Asian members

This is actually a serious question. As an American on this board I see countless attacks about pretty much anything our govt does. Many are justified and hell I even agree with much of it.

However I do have a question for you guys. Why is it you stand by and do pretty much nothing about the situation in Darfur?

It's pretty clear the world looks to America to lead by example, but this is one case that we can't do much about. No matter if it's right or wrong for us to be in Iraq, we are there and we don't have the troops to spare to go elsewhere. So I can "almost" understand my govt's un-willingness to stand up to the plate and take the lead on this matter, however I don't excuse it.

Yet, I have to ask why is it, none of the European Union countries are standing up and doing something about this? Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea could also be doing something. Yet none of your countries are doing anything, even though you have the troops and the man power to do something about it.

I'm sitting here watching a documentary on the Sudan Genocide that is still going on after several years and I just have to ask.. why?

Genocides have taken place in Europe and Asia so one would expect your govt's and people to be more than willing to do something about it. Yet you guys stand by and do nothing about this one.. why?
