Imagine that. Other people want oil as well!

What's going on over there is just absolutely crazy. But I don't see how anyone can think that interfering would create any different results than what you see in Iraq, Somalia, or the variety of other similar examples that have happened over the years.

They need to figure it out themselves.
Yea that's the point.. While I don't agree with our war in Iraq as I think it was mainly motivated for oil reasons. I do think it's quite Ironic that so many people in other countries protested the US claiming we were in it just for the oil.

Yet why aren't these very people protesting their own govts for their lack of doing anything during a ongoing genocide.

L Pinks.. Sudan's govt is the one carrying out the genocide. So what they say or want should be of little concern to the international community.
The ones doing the killing and raping are govt soldiers or Militia's whom are working for the govt.

If ever there was a case for an invasion and regime change it is the Sudan.
