Yay, international community.

Again, not our idea.

You're deliberatlely being obtuse.

Wash your hands Dan if it makes you feel better. I'm tired of running around this tree with you.

I'll presume the vast majority of readers of the thread will grasp the point that eludes you.

Don't blame me for your blinders.

Without outside intervention it will be a very long and very bloody process.

this should not happen, as there was a long and bloody war there before, and the two sides are pretty well matched so it is fairly certain (at least for African conditions), that there will be no war.

South has no intentions to invade north, AFAIK, just to be set free, while North is to weak after decades of war with the South and than subesquently Darfur to engage in a direct war, esp with another country, which South Sudan will likely become, and further risk international intervention.

Self-determination at least there is hope for a better future, definitely a good step for that part of the world.

When Spice Girls split there was no more spice just girls, when Sudan splits there will be just Sudans, no more wars.

I think that Spice Girls would rather make love than war... what's wrong with that?

Yay, international community.

Again, not our idea. Listen, it's no more our responsibility than conflict in any other part of the world.

Why get involved at all then?
