DARFUR UPDATE: The Washington Post editorializes:

On Wednesday President Bush called the Darfur killings “genocide,” a description that implies some moral obligation on the part of the United States to act to stop the killing. But his administration has yet to improve on the schizophrenic pressure-cum-cooperation approach of the past year, in part because it is hemmed in by the world’s indifference. China courts Sudan because of its oil. Russia seeks to sell arms to Sudan. Egypt and other Muslim states appear unmoved by the killing of Darfur’s Muslim people. The diplomatic challenge for the United States is to persuade these partners to see Sudan’s government for what it is: the problem, not the solution.

As I’ve suggested before, some Special Forces trainers and a whole lot of AK-47s (conveniently available in Saddam’s captured warehouses) might do some good, too.
