10 Ways to Help Darfur Now

by Joe Katzman at June 7, 2005 4:35 AM

Democracy Arsenal has a post with 10 smart ideas re: how the USA and the West could help Darfur without American troops. Filter out the strategy-challenged partisan griping and focus on the suggestions themselves. Some of them tie in rather nicely to Evariste's recent analysis of the NATO Rapid Reaction Force, aka. the "Mini-Me Military Superpower."

America is not the world's only (or even its largest) military, yet intervention in these situations always seems to revolve around America. It should not. These are fine suggestions - and ultimately, their execution or lack thereof speaks loudly to the issue of whether the progressives' much-vaunted "world community" actually means anything.

Personally, I'm not holding my breath. But I'd like to be wrong this time.

Yeah, I linked to this yesterday, Joe. Here's what I wrote at the time:

I agree with this completely. The only part I don't understand is why NATO would actually do any of the things suggested without direct U. S. military intervention. Can they? Do the other NATO countries have the uncommitted military resource to project the necessary level of force?

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
