The Times Gets it Right

Friday, August 04, 2006

There is a great editorial in today's New York Times. The article call out China for supporting the murderous government in Khartoum. Here's the best paragraph:
One reason Beijing stands behind Mr. Bashir is oil. China is trying to diversify its oil sources beyond the crisis-prone Middle East, and Africa is one obvious alternative. Already, some 7 percent of China's imported oil comes from Sudan.
The US needs to leverage its allies and put pressure on China to not use its UN veto so that troops and support can be approved to help fix this deadly problem.
