Was killing all the Jews in Europe a internal matter? Since when was a Genocide considered a "internal" matter? or the many other genocides that have gone on this century? Why is it we always say "never again" yet stand by as it happens again?
NinjaSteve.. money isn't the issue. The issue is the need for troops on the ground to stop the killing. Sending aid is all that's gone on for the last few years. I guess it's easier to ignore it if a govt can claim they sent aid money or food. I guess it's like paying for a piece of mind.

I remember reading the Sudanese government protested against UN involvement in what it said was an internal matter. And the UN complied.
If I'm wrong please educate me, don't go into a WW2 rant. Many of us view the Sudan wars as tribal uprisings and paybacks between age old enemies. Conflicts that are present regardless of the ruling party.
