...will help the Republicans win California anytime soon, so a free-trade advocate would gain nothing by voting for them.

The dark shadow of our failure to act on the eve of the Rwandan genocide, and the relative success of former President Bill Clinton’s Serbian campaign, lend further support to an interventionist agenda. Because of the ongoing genocide, Darfur must become a new theater of operations for our allies and ourselves. It is nothing short of a moral imperative for the U.S. to do what it can—and convince its allies to do so as well—to curtail...
