For the sake of shame; China take a bow

I wish that I could honestly write that I do not react with some vigour to television reportage; unfortunately, in writing that, I would be lying. So, it is easy to imagine my reaction to the prospect of China blocking any UN security council action against the Sudanese Government as castigation for the atrocities committed in Darfur. To summarise:

One third of the population homeless (2 million people)
Estimated 300 000 killed
Janjaweed effectively government sponsored genocide engineers
Disease and starvation rampant

The reason to block any sanctions - Oil. China (and to a lesser degree Russia) have substantial investments in Oil and other commodities in Sudan, and don't want to risk upsetting either the government or trade. Shame on you China. Shame. It looks like you are truly set to take your place as a new America on the world stage.
