Hence, this discussion is hypothetical. What would we do if what we did would make a difference -- i.e., if there were organized left forces in the u.s. and western europe to have an impact on the policy of the imperialist governments.
See http://www.counterpunch.org/cloughley09162006.html And account of conditions in Afghanistan after 5 years of u.s. control. That tells you what will happen in Darfur if the U.S. or any NATO power intervenes. It will be no better in the short run and probably worse in the long run. Therefore what we do is oppose all outside interference in Darfur. That is a purely symbolic opposition, but supporting intervention would also be purely symbolic -- symbolic of out belief that u.s. (or UK) action in Africa or elsewhere can ever be desirable. Carrol
