Anything the U.S. did, or tried to do, in sub-Saharan Africa would be "racist" and "colonial", so why bother?

Not to worry. The UN has things well in hand, having made the Congo its premier demonstration project since oh, 1959 or 1960 or so, courtesy of Dag Hammarskjold and the evacuating Belgians.

All who laud the UN for its great expertise and mighty works of nation-building: look upon the Congo and despair.

How right you are!!!
I was the radioman on the last C-119 evacuating the Belgians out of that cesspool. Nothing has changed.
