I read this editorial in the New York Times on Sunday about Darfur. I was particularly struck by the last paragraph:

"The world’s leaders say they care desperately about Darfur’s suffering. But caring is not enough. What is needed is troops, equipment and a lot more diplomatic pressure on Sudan. The word of the United Nations is on the line, and so are the lives of Darfur’s people."

A few questions jump to my mind:

• What good did UN troops do in Rwanda?
• Are UN troops really the answer as there is a history of despicable actions such as rape on the part of these troops?
