I was under the impression that the African Union Peace Force present in Darfur was funded by the EU, and that the UN was sending additional troops as well. As for the question of 'lack of ability', we are in fact engaged in Afghanistan, and only just withdrew our troops from Iraq. Yesterday, the Dutch parliament decided to send an additional 1200 troops to the Afghan province of Uruzgan (total costs for The Netherlands: around 350 million euros), which is one of the most dangerous locations in that country. Considering the fact that we are an extremely small country, I'd say we're pretty overstretched.
