You said this about Bin Laden being used in advertising

Now you are saying that companies shouldn't be aloud to make money, becuase some of their supplies come from a country with possible ties to Bin Laden.
I am sure your argument will be something along the lines of: "Bin Laden is not profiting from the ad campaign that is using him." And you are probably right. But these are 2 sides to the same coin.
What would you like the US to do? They already have troops in 2 Islamic countries, and now you want to invade another? You cry foul for the US invading Iraq, and removing Saddam (who himself contributed to crimes against humanity), now are saying the US isn't doing enough to stop the crimes in the Sudan.
It seems to be a case of "Your damned if you do, and your damned if you don't". Like i said in my previous post, either another country is going to have to unilaterally move into the Sudan, or it is going to have go through the UN. One is quick, but leads to speculation over motivs(sp). The other takes longer, but is universially accepted.
Now having said all that, I agree. The world needs to get involved in Sudan, and needs to do it quickly. Martin has already stood up in front of the UN and basically said "You idiots, get off your asses and do something", which I applaud him for. If Canada had any sort of military, we probably could join forces with the US and UK and go it alone. But that isn't going to happen, becuase well, Canada has no military to speak of.
