If we can't even support 305 African Union soldiers...

How are we going to support the 3,000 A.U. soldiers the U.N. at least nominally hopes will go to Darfur to protect civilians there? According to this tragically poignant piece this morning about 155 Rwandan soldiers serving in Darfur, "There are days when there are not enough cars for all of the monitors to go out, and Sendegeya sits in his tent, cleans up the compound and exercises." Not only is the international community utterly failing to take a hard line against genocide in Darfur, but we apparently don't even have the wherewithal to provide enough logistical support for the 305 A.U. soldiers protecting ceasefire monitors in Darfur to accomplish their mission effectively. The A.U. has asked for $200 million to support its nascent force, and the U.S. Senate on Thursday approved $75 million for that force. It's time for other nations to step up to the plate.
