If the various UN member countries were 5 year old children, then I would give credence to the potential of shaming them. <hr color=blue> I am using past UN <i>events</i> as indicators of what is likely in the Sudan situation. You have a more optimistic viewpoint and we will likely continue to disagree. Continuing this dialog won't change my viewpoint and your viewpoint seems constant despite the documentation I provide. Have a nice day.
I saw your information on the satellite photos, and the documentation. I do agree that this alone won't change their mind, because they know that we aren't committed enough to take follow up action. I'm agreeing with you that we have done more than other nations, and that these other nations are flat out denying the truth. But I'm talking about showing the evidence as only a part of the plan. Again taking Iraq as an example, we offered aid packages, debt forgiveness etc. to countries that would join us in our effort. I would say we do the same again with these nations as well as provide the threat of aid removal, sanctions etc. against countries like China, and others who stand in the way of human rights.
