    I was wondering if my fellow lefties can help me out here. As you are aware, there is currently a huge humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Some would even call it genocide. I have no problem with that. But what I can't seem to figure out is how the United States is to blame, as we usually are at fault.

    Please advise. Thx.

      Just blame it on the US.

      What is there to figure out?

      Hmm. Let me see. There was this bombing of an alleged chemical weapons plant in Sudan back in Clinton's times. This plant turned out to have produced medicals. As a result, tens of thousands of people died, because they couldn't get the medicines they required. See, it's still all your fault.

    What do you mean "alleged".

    The UN New World Order doesn't want you to know the truth. The chemical weapon plant was there just as the WMDs were in Iraq.
