Since we're so keen on military interventions and human rights...



... maybe we should consider dropping in on the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of Congo?



Particularly since, in the leadup to the little adventure in Iraq, Rwanda was trotted out again and again as something we should never have allowed to happen (yes, Mike, I know the Americans are the main ones who resisted any UN effort to intervene with military strength). It's happening now, it's happening in the DRC, and this is exactly the sort of situation the United Nations is there to work against. Forget the "sucking up to the Americans again" resolutions... it's time to do some good for people who could use our help.



Update: you know who is taking the point on trying to get a military intervention? Think cheese-eating. Think surrender-monkies. Seems they're ready to have a fight on occasion after all, if they actually think it might be the moral thing to do.
