Ravi poses the issue well. ('Im fuming so much over the ideological abstractions cum amoralism of Yoshie et. al. I doubt I'll post a reply besides this.300,000-400,000 have been killed in the last few yrs. and all Yoshie and her allies on marxmail can bleat is calling Barbara Ehrenreich a racist for her comments on Darfur.)

Better excommunicate leftist Barbara Lee for sponsoring the Darfur Accountability Act. http://www.genocideintervention.net/advocate/lobby/ Which would have the appearance of forceful action matching the fears of Yoshie et. al. of some imminent round of USAF sorties over Sudan and expanded NATO support to the OAU peacekeepers, until one reads Eric Reeves http://www.sudanreeves.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=100 and also sees how UN Amb. Bolton weakened already toothless sanctions against Sudanese officials http://www.americanprogressaction.org/site/apps/nl/content2.asp?c=klLWJcP7H&b=1331575&ct=2330139#3
>...U.N. Ambassador John Bolton successfully managed "to keep top
Sudanese commanders" from being targeted. Thanks to Bolton, the sanction list was whittled down to four from eight, only one of whom "is a Sudanese government official, and a mid-level official at that."

A piece linked from one of the above URL's from the left-liberal American Prospect http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewWeb&articleId=11450 lays out what a real liberal, not the caricature of Yoshie et. al. advocates for Darfur. The Options for Darfur Liberal hawks, don't do unto Darfur what you did to Iraq.

Lastly, there are liberals in Congress esp. Sheila Jackson-Lee and Bob Filner, alas, that do advocate (and are quite close personally to the leaders of) not a US military invasion of Iran, a totally bonkers idea but, overt support for the MEK guerillas. (ex-Marxists that had a bit of popular support in Iran during the leadup to and beginning stages of the clerical counter-revolution of '79 until they were repressed brutally, just like their Tudeh Communist Party opponents by the IRI.) Dennis Kucinich recently tried to draw attn. to the covert support the USG is giving to the MEK and PKK (!!!) inside Iran, http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Kucinich_asks_Bush_about_alleged_US_support_for_armed_insurgency_in_Iran
