Sudan is 40% Arab. The government is run by the Arabs, and is busy enslaving the black population of the south, and terrorizing everyone, in order to create a Taliban style government. They have strong, open ties to Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda.

No surprise then that this country is contributing fanatics to fight in this war. Also, it is further proof of the working relationship between Al-Qaeda and the Baathists.

And to think that at one time they offered Bin Laden to Clinton, and he turned them down.

Sounds like Al Queda. I hope we can capture some and keep them separate. Seems like when we get our hands on these folks we learn a lot that helps us with the war on terror.

One is disturbingly reminded by this of the Norland Division of the Waffen-SS, composed of non-Germans who chose to fight for Hitler.

Well, I guess the one positive in all this is that if you've got the fanatics fighting in Iraq they ain't bombing other places.

They'll be wiped out, just like they were whenever we found them in Afghanistan.

Just remember: soldiers always defeat warriors.

I've long been an advocate of giving military aid on humanitarian grounds. That is, providing it to countires and armies that are in conflicts with oppressive regimes seeking to destroy them. I figure that if we given billions in traditional aid to other countries in order to alleviate suffering in other parts of the world, we could accomplish a lot more by overthrowing governments that cause tens of millions of people to suffer.

If we were to adopt such a military aid policy, one of the first groups I'd advocate supporting are the Sudanese rebels fighting against that country's Islamist government.

The US ought to invite all these hotheads from outside countries to come and fight so the US can kill them all. That way their countries will be more stable. You'd think they'd have learned from the experience in Afghanistan. They have me annoyed.
