7. Some background on the ICC and Sudan....
http://miafarrow.org/

Scroll down. As long as Sudan has oil and gas the world will turn its back on the people of Darfur. Thanks to Mia Farrow the world at least has taken notice. But the reality is the reality.

You do have to wonder why we have not moved to "liberate" the people of Sudan as we "liberated" the people of Iraq. One reason may be China Oil. We mustn't upset China. It might retaliate by pulling all of its investments in the United States. And of course there are American investors in China Oil. The Bushes reportedly are among the investors.

Human rights violations do not matter when billions of dollars in oil and gas revenue are involved. We are guilty of the same in Myanmar. Chevron is making too much money for the United States to be concerned about human rights violations.
