DeWayne Wickham asks about Darfur.
Dodd: As a result of Iraq, we’ve lost moral authority. Damages our ability to lead on Darfur. Take unilateral action.
Clinton: Give airlift or logistical support from us or NATO for United Nations peacekeepers. No-fly zone. A bit of booing, I think.
Biden: “I’ve been saying for three years to stop talking and start acting. We’ve lost moral authority because we stood by and watched this carnage.” He’s fired up.
Richardson: I was in Darfur three months ago. American policymakers should not forget about Africa.
Edwards: Darfur is part of a bigger question, how do we reestablish ourselves as a force for good in America? Let’s fund education around the world, sanitation, clean drinking water.
Obama: Need to look beyond crises, trade investment, our long term security will depend on giving children a stake in order instead of violence and chaos.
Kucinich: Stop corporate exploitation. If Darfur had oil, this administration would be occupying it already.
Sudan has oil, you doofus. That’s why China deals with them.
I missed his last line. That was painful. Wrap-up in a few.
