George Bush on why he didn’t send troops into Darfur:
“A clear lesson I learned in the museum was that outside forces that tend to divide people up inside their country are unbelievably counterproductive. In other words, people came from other countries — I guess you’d call them colonialists — and they pitted one group of people against another.”
Whew. I’m glad he learned that important life lesson before he got us involved in a pointless bloody conflict overseas. Obviously we can’t go sticking our noses, all nation-buildin’ and whatnot, where they don’t belong. At least, not when it’s just human rights violations and genocide that’s the issue. That there would be colonializin’.
