Not that you don’t have a point, but if you mention Sudan only as Darfur, you’re a poser. Myanmar is popular right now, too.
As to “terrible things happen everywhere and all the time”, yes, they do.
However, you’re a fool if you think that Saddam, someone that vile, in charge of a substantial section of an important resource, in the middle of a volatile area, apt to invade and otherwise destabilize his neighbors isn’t something a major power is truly obliged to do something about.
This goes for Iran, as well. It’s astonishing to me that the Bush administration and the current Obama administration don’t recognize it.
