Should the United States Send Peacekeeping Troops to Darfur?
The situation in Darfur is horrible and tragic, but the U.S. should not deploy troops to Darfur. The United States is already involved in a war in Iraq. We didn't have a solid plan to help the Iraqis, and we don't have a good plan about what to do in Darfur. We should try to put economic and political pressure on Sudan to end the violence, but we can't just send our troops off to any place in the world that has a problem. The African Union or the UN needs to work this out. The United States needs to get out of Iraq before committing itself to another war.
