US to Consider Lifting Sanctions in Sudan (despite Darfur gang rapes)

From the AFP wire:

Sudan's Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail said US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has agreed to consider the possibility of lifting sanctions imposed on the northeast African state.

Let me get this right. The greatest genocide and displacement of a nation of people since Rwanda and Secretary Rice begins the process of lifting sanctions when we have received NOT ONE GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL STOP RAPING WOMEN, KILLING MEN AND pushing thousands from their homes.

The Bush administration is so, so, so out of touch. So far from reality, it defies imagination. If a militia of men gang raped ten thousand white Texan women, I wonder would we be so cavalier?
