Somalia, Sudan, whatever

On Monday, John McCain had to be corrected by his own aide when referring to the location of Darfur. From Washingtonpost.com --

"We can't right every wrong and achieve every laudable goal," he said, using Darfur as an example of where many Americans want to act, but have yet to identify a reasonable course of action.

"How can we bring pressure on the government of Somalia?" he asked, which prompted Mark Salter to correct him. "Sudan," Salter said.

"Sudan," McCain repeated. "There's a realpolitik side of my view of the conduct of American foreign policy."
