How to deal with Darfur

Glenn Reynolds is calling for unilateral action to stop the genocide in Darfur. I agree. It's obvious that the U.N. won't do anything until it's far too late, but Glenn's suggestion that we offer "special forces trainers and some weapons to organize the victims in Darfur . . .," is not what I would do. I think we need to use some JDAM sanctions, to let the government of Sudan know that this is its responsibility, and if it doesn't do something on its own, it will suffer the same fate as Milosevic or the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. I don't think we want to foment a civil war, if we can help it.
