Now here is an example that has to be followed by the US and members of the UN to send peace keeping troops to Sudan if needed or if situations don't
get better to stop the current genocide and cleansing that are being done in that region. I for one applaud Britain for being ready to commit forces
to help suffering people.
Britain stands ready to send 5,000 troops to the violence-wracked Darfur region of Sudan if required, the head of the army, General Sir Michael
Jackson, said Friday.
"If need be, we will be able to go to Sudan," Jackson said in an interview with BBC News 24. "I suspect we could put a brigade together very
quickly indeed."
Asked how many troops that would entail, he replied: "Five thousand."
