Cabinet Meeting

[The Duke]

Nym,

I'm thrilled to have your support.  Its good that the administration is filled with people who know an injustice when they see it.  A united front will produce a more coherent and effective policy.

I'd say the best thing you can do is go to our NATO allies and to the UN and make the moral case (stopping genocide) and the strategic case (toppling a former harborer of bin Laden) to them.  I'd like the support of as many allies as we can get, as we may need their peacekeeping troops after the shooting stops.

I am personally against talking with Bashir's government, because in real life, your counterpart Colin Powell already had a peace deal and the Sudanese government stuck us in the back and broke their word by invading Darfur.  I don't really trust them, and fear another embarrassing betrayal if we go back to the same route that already came up short once.

Put some pressure on the EU-bastards. Make them take some sort of responisibility.

But only call them that behind closed doors.

Ok, sounds great. I am fairly busy for the next couple days and probably won't be online, but I pledge that I will start a tour of Europe this weekend and also make a speech to the UN in New York early next week. How does that sound?

[The Duke]

Perfect.  Take some time, we haven't even started Senate debate yet, so ther isn't a rush if you have things to do in real life.

[Gustaf]

Exactly, we have to remember that normal government works really slowly as well, and they're still working full-time with it.

And that's a good point Ford...only behind closed doors. Preferably doors that have been slammed in their faces, lol.
