It's not worth ANY lives.
That said (and I don't have a link to post, so find your own), did you know about the oil reserves that are in Darfur, and which country (in Asia) has dibs on them?

China could stop this very easily.

And I agree with Z. We cant win. Do people remember Somalia? We had no interest in that country whatsoever and sent kids in and they got slaughtered. This is a very confusing issue for me, very. It is clearly genocide of black Africans by religious zealots with money at stake. A very volatile combination. This is clearly a horrific slaughter. But... we have made it very clear we will not tolerate the loss of American lives unless... and then it gets to a very fuzzy border that I cannot comprehend anymore.
