I voted (Max prepare yourself)
Western peacekeeping force
And I will explain why.
- Though I personally support isolationalism it is painfully apparent to me that this doctrine will not be popular anytime soon.
- Western nations in general have more capable militaries, less issues with food reserves, even fewer issues with monetary concerns and are generally more capable then other regions.
- I would really like to see Germany and France actually do something OTHER then giving the US a hard time about Iraq. It would also be nice if Russia could do something or even China though these two I wouldnt really expect much help from. It would also be nice if Spain could find it in their heart to send their newly arrived troops somewhere that they will be appreciated and somewhere where they can do some good for some very needy people.
- A stablized Sudan is one step closer to a stabilized Africa. A stablized Africa is in everyones best interests.
Now why I didnt choose the others ...
Economic sanctions
-- How will starving a nation with starving people do anything but further starve the starving people? Surely the illigal market that brings weapons into and diamonds out of these nations wont be hindered by sanctions?
African peacekeeping force
-- Inept and corrupt. I could just imagine the escalation of the situation when the arab militias come into contact with African 'soldiers' ... everyone has a rifle or a machine gun and theres enough RPG's going around to take out an armor column ... yea that will be the solution.
Further stern warnings
- Pointless. Though I will say that this is the typical move by the western powers. 'Hey, lets talk about it some more this way while hundreds of thousands of people starve to death we can say at least we tried' ...
A western invasion, US style led by the French and Germans (ok, so it would be French and German style whatever that might be). Full on soldiers cracking heads and stopping the slaughters/imprisonments. If need be, topple the gov't of Sudan and install provincial mayors for a time being. As peace is established, food is delivered, medical needs are met then the peacekeeping forces can establish ground rules for a western style republic.
Thats right people, a western style republic. If they need us to bail em out then it means they cant do it themselves and they need a new system so thats what they get. Full on constitution established by the UN. Eventually a republic will form and if they later choose to change their own constitution via elected officials well then its their business.
If we arent going to be isolationalist then the only other way is to kick down the doors of those who oppose us and enforce our way of life on everyone.
*Said that last bit just to see a reaction*
The story ends, it just ends.
