As for the comments about the UK, here is a comment by Foreign Secretary Jack Straw:
"The United Kingdom is calling... for clear benchmarks to be set, detailing what steps the Sudanese government must now take towards meeting its responsibilities and resolving the conflict," Straw told parliament.

"The situation is one which has rightly shocked the world. For our part, we are determined to do everything we can to resolve the humanitarian disaster and help secure a political settlement across the country as a whole."

"Ten years ago, the world turned away from the horrors of Rwanda and Bosnia. We all know the appalling result."

Hmmm... that looks like he covered both genocide and ethnic cleansing....

So have you hopped on the French/Europe bashing bandwagon too?
I didn't say it. Samantha Power said it. BTW, are you able to post just one single message without invective?
