Another of the Bush policies that was a piece of crap.
NAIROBI, Kenya — One of the Bush administration’s key foreign policy successes — brokering an end to a 21-year war between northern and southern Sudan — is coming apart even as U.N. and African diplomats step up peace efforts in Sudan’s other crisis, the conflict in the western Darfur region.
Signers of the 2005 truce ending Africa’s longest civil war have missed every major deadline, and tensions in the south have increased amid reports of a military build-up by both sides. Last week, former southern rebels took the dramatic step of withdrawing from a national unity government, accusing northern officials of blocking the peace agreement and failing to remove thousands of its troops from southern oil fields.

Sounds familiar. They were relying on a treaty which was nothing more than a photo-op. _________________ To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.
