Chrenkoff has a good roundup

Chrenkoff has a good roundup of articles related to Kofi's decision to take Colin Powell with him to Khartoum.

The government-backed irregular ethnic cleansers will be
bombarded into submission with Colin Powell, Kofi Annan and the foreign
ministers of France, Italy and Switzerland. In case the diplomatic
heavy guns would prove insufficient, you can always try more aid. In
fact, as Fox reports, "Powell to Ask Sudan's Leaders to Allow Aid". It
would only be a slight exaggeration to compare the current scenario to
the Allies asking the Nazis to allow food parcels into Auschwitz.

He's completely correct. The inmates are running the asylum and asking
them to take their medication, as opposed to ramming it down their
throats, simply isn't going to work in this situation. The absurdity of
it all is just astounding. I suppose one could say that this is one of
the bad side-effects of going unilateral, says she with the sarcasm
dripping, on Iraq: I---and many others---just don't have patience for
the UN anymore. They want to talk everything to death, and when more
talk means people dying in Sudan, I fail to see how that talk is
purposeful. Particularly when the UN and the US are asking for access
to people whom their own government is helping to annihilate.
