Darfur

Sending troops into Darfur is our obligation as the seemingly most powerful country. Yes, maybe the "conflict" is not America's problem, but it is America's obligation. I believe America should send peacekeeping troops to Darfur. Lawrence F. Kaplin writes, "...don't pretend that Darfur will be saved by anything else." Darfur cannot resolve it's own conflict, and no other nations have stepped up in the long history surrounding the conflict. Because of this, I believe America should step up to send troops.
The opposition believes that sending troops would cause America to be stuck in Darfur. David Rieff believes that by sending troops to Darfur America would be "rubbing salt on that global wound." He also says doing that would be "morally unworthy." This poses an interesting question. Is it more immoral to watch the genocide and do nothing about it, or try to help?
Sending troops to Darfur is not only the right action to take, but the most moral. As the most powerful and able country, we should do the right thing and send troops to Darfur.
