...Bush has already achieved his main objective in invading Iraq. He formed a U.S.-style democracy that will serve as a role model for all nations in the Middle East.

That appears a slim hope. For one thing, the rebels are a fractious bunch. On Monday, a new split was reported in the ranks of the hardline Islamic Justice and Equality Movement (J.E.M.) over who would represent them in Arusha. And even if they can agree a common platform, the Sudanese government still has to agree to meet them. Khartoum's preferred method of dealing with Darfuris...
