From their editorial today on Sudan:

The Bush administration has long accused Mr. Bashir and his government of genocide and imposed its own strict sanctions. It could still be doing a lot more to rally Security Council action and to directly pressure Sudan. Washington could start today by jamming Sudan’s official communications network. If the Security Council will not impose a no-flight zone — to ground the planes and helicopters Khartoum uses to bomb civilians and supply militias — Washington should turn to NATO.

Declare war on Sudan by jamming their communications network, then go to the Security Council … again, and then go to NATO for help with a no-fly zone knowing that NATO has neither the air power, naval power, air-refueling capability or political resolve to complete such a mission.

Also, the NY Times is using the wrong verb above. They write, “to ground the planes.” The real verbs to use are “to shoot and destroy the planes” and “to kill the pilots.” Such is what happens when real armies declare war, but when the NY Times does it, it somehow lacks a description of the consequences.
