Just face it, you just like to bitch and complain. If the US did intervene in Darfur with military action, or any other conflict for that matter, you would start spouting off how it is only about oil.

You seem to have this self-righteous sense that you're the only one in the world who is against the people of Africa and the Middle East having to endure oppression and suffering. But when anything is done to help, you complain about ulterior motives. While their may be ulterior motives, if even the slightest bit of adancement can be made to help relieve the citizens who are suffereing, then we should atleast try to look for a silver lining, seeing as how we can do nothing to change the way our government is going to respond to international conflict.
