Where do both candidates stand on military action in the Darfur region of Sudan?

Question

This issue is something that has been swept under the rug for a long time, and I was wondering where either of the candidates stood on it?

Answer 1

You can see their scores on these web pages (below), Obama looks better than McCain at Darfur.org.

However, I believe neither candidate will actually get anything done in Darfur, it is a non issue in the U.S. because we have no leverage against China, the real reason there is a problem in the region. (see third and fourth link).

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure if you asked Caribou Barbie this question, she'd give you a deer-in-the-headlights look for a few seconds and then tell you she's a hockey mom!

Answer 3

Hopefully they will keep out of this squabble.  We should mind our own business and avoid entangling alliances and foreign wars like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson et al advised.

Answer 4

To put it in a nutshell...both think it's really bad and the U.S. should do something about it.  Honestly, they haven't said much more then that.
