The first time they send one of their killer helicopters into our designated no-fly zone, we blow it to hell...end of death from the skies!

So if we eliminate helicoptors then the crisis will be solved? Spend a few minutes researching Sudan , not by reading news reports but about the entire situation of affairs there and tell me again if you really think that the elimination of attack helicoptors will do anything to help the situation.

Solving this crisis involves getting the people killing each other to stop WANTING to kill each other. We cant just play principal and expect things to get better. You think things are great in Somolia? How did that workout when we went there? Our military is designed to kill people, not police them. I thought that Iraq would have been a shining example for you of what happens when the military becomes a sitting duck trying to police rather than fight.

I understand that the idea of people being slaughtered is unsettling, but like I said before, let the UN unite the world to go over there and intervene. It is not our job.
