Darfur Succession?

Carroll Andrew Morse has written an interesting TCS Article advocating the U.S. support succession of the Darfur Province from Sudan. An interesting idea. And it certainly couldn't make the situation worse. Iraq has also lead me to think about policies of splitting up countries containing warring factions recently. While I think that sometimes this solution may be necessary I don't think it is the most desirable one. I would prefer to work out ways to make ethnicity not matter in nations like Iraq and Sudan. Tribalism is a primitive system and all people should be able to live under a government where ethnicity doesn't matter. Of course that is easy to say and tough to do. Even in the United States we have our problems with this issue. And certainly espousing an ideal is a noble thing, but unrealistically supporting an idealistic goal at the current cost of human lives is evil.
