Darfur, Miss USA and other news

I was watching CNN today morning and the recently announced sanctions on Sudan over Darfur were all over the news. CNN invited Sudan's ambassador to the US to give his view on the sanctions and I found him to be a very interesting man. According to him Sudan is trying its best to solve the Darfur crisis yet for every step they make forward, the US takes them 3 steps back. He went on to say that more peace keeping troops would not help alleviate the problem and that 150,000 well trained soldiers in Iraq had not stopped the violence.

The US has termed what is happening in Darfur as genocide and is now taking unilateral steps to stop it. China and Russia do not agree mainly because they rely on Sudanese oil and gas and without their support the US cannot pass any tough resolution against Sudan thus the unilateral steps. Its interesting how different sides see a situation differently depending on their own interests, very interesting.

In other news, Miss USA fell when on stage during the Miss Universe pageant held in Mexico City. Ha Ha Ha Ha! To add insult to injury the audience booed her after that. She must be a very strong character, she acted with an air of grace and dignity and even thanked the audience in Mexican!
