Because helping Iraqis is in our own interest, and helping Darfur is not?

Is America's position as the lone superpower more secure?

Do we have more allies around the globe?

Have we stabilized a strategically important oil producing ally?

Is democracy blossoming in Iraq? Elsewhere in the middle east or the Muslim world where it was not prior to lour invasion?
