U.N. council OKs French-led Congo force
Damn it? Why aren't we in there? This would be ideal situation to apply a little liberal interventionism. I very much doubt the run of the mill warbloggers (or the White House) are going to push for US involvement. Which is really frustrating, because in the wake of the non-existent (or at least, the greatly exaggerated WMDs) they have defended the invasion of Iraq on humanitarian grounds, frequently pointing to the mass graves that have been discovered after the war. Now we have an opportunity to stop a humanitarian disaster in its tracks (as opposed to after the must serious atrocities were completed, as in Iraq) and we're not taking advantage of it. Its really rather displeasing to see the UN and France acting in a more moral fashion than the US.
