Should the United States Send Peacekeeping Troops to Darfur?
Yes, I believe that we should send peacekeeping troops to Darfur to help with the situation there. We seem to be the only country that would be able to have a significant impact on what's going on there. We can't stand by and watch people kill their own people...like we did in Germany (until we finally intervened millions of people too late), Rwanda, and also Iraq, where Saddam killed many of his people. We can't sit back and hope that other countries will step up and try to control what is going on there. We have to take the lead, being the strong and influential country that we are. It's our job, as one of the most powerful countries in the world, to help maintain and control peace. If that means that we have to send troops in to help control what is going on, then so be it. Something needs to be done over there and the first step in doing anything has to be for us to send a few troops.
