I
don't support such an invasion. If I thought invading Iraq was a foolish invitation to quagmire, and Somalia, for all our good intentions and which I supported, was also headed for quagmire, then why would anyone believe Sudan would be anything but another tarbaby (in the literary sense, please, not the vernacular) that we get mired to?
The only reason Sudan gets mentioned is to counter the Iraq-was-a-brutal-tyrany arguement. If Iraq, then why not Sudan?
But if I believe we were foolish to invade Iraq because of it's quagmire potential, then for me, if NOT Iraq, then WHY Sudan? We might be able to force a temporary break in the fighting, but they'll eventually just keep fighting around us, as well as against us... and likely with al-Qaeda help, just like in Somolia.
