There have been a bunch of activist groups here on campus trying to raise support for US intervention in Darfur, except when you look at the situation it's pretty well the same thing we haven't been able to do shit about in Iraq. What makes them think us marching in there is going to do anything except get us picked apart be local guerilla militias until, once again, we start screaming that too many of our soldiers are dying and we pack up for home. Iraq is the proof that we cannot stop local tribes from killing each other off for any reasonable length of time. Of course if I stopped to say that to any groups here you'd be hearing about the student beaten to death with peace protest signs...
