The document discusses whether the US should continue acting as a "World Police" by summarizing three past conflicts where the US did not intervene militarily. It summarizes the Rwandan genocide in 1994 where an estimated 800,000 people were killed over 100 days without US intervention. It discusses the 2008-2009 Gaza War between Israel and Hamas where the US did not stop Israel's attacks. Finally, it outlines the ongoing Darfur Conflict in Sudan since 2003 between government forces and rebel groups where the US has not intervened militarily. The document suggests these examples demonstrate the downsides of the US not taking on a "Globocop" role in global conflicts.

Darfur Conflict: Strike 3The Darfur Conflictis an ongoing guerrilla conflict or civil war centered on the Darfur region of Sudan. It began in February 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) and Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) groups in Darfur took up arms, accusing the Sudanese government of oppressing non-Arab Sudanese in favor of Sudanese Arabs. One side of the conflict is composed mainly of the official Sudanese military and police, and the Janjaweed, a Sudanese militia group recruited mostly from the Arab Abbala tribes of the northern Rizeigat region in Sudan; these tribes are mainly camel-herding nomads. The other combatants are made up of rebel groups, notably the SLM/A and the JEM, recruited primarily from the non-Arab Muslim Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit ethnic groups.
