Darfur no question about it. Iran, North Korea that's our own fault and in my opinion should be solved with diplomacy. What's going on in Darfur right now is horrible, Genocide on a mass scale is much more important then the politics brought on by our ignorant government.
Iran loomes largest on the radar. It's lead by an unstable man who is developing nukes for the sole purpose of using them to achieve his goal of bringing about the end of the world so Islam can rule.
To bad the Sudanese government will not allow UN peace keepers. The militia just hijack the aide that is sent in there now.CommieChipmunk wrote:

In terms of threats to world peace, definitely Iran. In terms of threats to human rights, I believe Darfur....
Although, I think they've said Iran would be close to impossible to invade on a full-scale attack.
But I think Campoe is talking about Iraq war supporters.. so forget what I said

Zimbabwe. Mugabe has fucked that place up, and I think theres a better chance of fixing that.
Palestine. Apparently the US had great success in the 1990s when the CIA and DoD sent security advisers to the PLO to train them. Eventually the Israelis and Palestinians were doing joint patrols. So I think that situation can go beyond the current "unpleasantries" with a return to (somewhat) more evenhanded US leadership.
I assume this thread is devoted to world attention because the US itself obviously need to devote more attention to it's borders.
That let's sneak into a country and have a protest shit got old quick.

Id say Darfur by a long shot. It really proves were the international communities agenda lies. Not with humanity as thats sustainable. And proves that Iraqi is a crock of shit. Oil on the other hand isn't sustainable.
Iran. Too psycho to have nukes. He will use them.

Sudan, then Iran, then N. Korea
EDIT: On second thought, save Iran for last, N. Korea is the lesser threat of the 2, but Iran is more unstable, so if we move in, it's just gonna be like poking the bull with the stick.

I vote Darfur, then its a split between Myanmar and Zimbabwe.

I tend to be isolationist, but since I know we'll continue to be an interventionist country, my vote goes to Darfur.
