This nonsense about pretending to care about humanitarian issues is getting old. The Second Congo War and its aftermath led to 5.4 million deaths, all in the last 15 years. Crickets from the US there.
The fact that we made a terrible mistake 20 years ago shouldn't stop us from doing the right thing now...
This to me is one of the most morally reprehensible arguments made by the True Leftist Anti-Imperialist Obama = Bush opposition (and they make many). They somehow manage a straight face while on the one hand criticizing America for past humanitarian inaction, while at the same arguing for continued humanitarian inaction in the present!
Plus Obama was just a State Senator then. What the [Inks] did he have to do with US foreign policy at the time?
