Pro Humanitate

The discussion in class raised many interesting points about the ability of the united states to give foriegn aid to developing countries in need. One specific point discussed the paradox between wanting to help, yet refusing to use force. I agree with the point made, but I believe the country could use its force more wisely. I believe the use of force was unecessary in Iraq, but would be largely supported in a place such as Darfur. It is clear that force is essentially the only method that will work at this point since the corrupt government has responded to nothing else. Currently, the government and Bush are being criticized for not doing enough with Darfur. If we were to in fact send troops in, I believe the media would be behind the government all the way.
