I'm stunned that you're stunned.

And, if Kofi is not stunned, then perhaps nobody should be stunned.

Yes. I said that with sarcasm. I should have noted it.

Wow...that's deep sarcasm :-). Never crossed my mind it would have been.

The Lord's Resistance Army is probably the weirdest cast of evil characters I've seen since the Aum Shinryko cult.

Just replace "Lord" with "Allah."

Arab governments don't support jihads that Christians aren't committing. And the LRA is not Christian.

How much money and how many lives have been thrown into the toilet called Africa?
Sort of like Haiti. If you refuse to help yourself, the hell with you.

Would sickened have been a better choice of words?

I think the media are every bit as racist as they accuse the Republicans and Bush of being. If they don't investigate a story, how is the average person to know of it (unless it suddenly occurs to us one day, "Hey, I wonder whether there's anything going on in Uganda or Sudan today, I'd better look into that"). Just like Clinton, they found the fighting in the Balkans amongst people who "look like us" more compelling than the millions being slaughtered by terrorists and thugs in Africa.

You are correct. I find it disturbing that the left wants say we only want democracy for those nations with oil. They seem to love cherry picking who should be free. European TV covers this all the time. Most of their coverage is of dead Ugandans and UN people standing around scratching their testicles. We get fed this crap about how one party in our government is evil while the press neglects the true evil around the world. There are real human rights violations going on in Africa and the Arab world. Libs seem to think nothing of these because they are too concerned with illegals being shipped back to Mexico or Bush listening to their calls to their terrorist friends.

Of course you're right. LRA isn't really a Christian group, but they claim they are -- and they'll probably kill you if you disagree. Likewise, bin Laden isn't really a Muslim, what with his murder of innocents and all, but he says he is and the Nuke Mecca crowd believes him and wants to continue his work of mudering innocents.

Question of demographics and desertification.

Look at a map of Africa.

As the Sahara encroaches farther and farther south, the fast breeding Muslims are pushing farther and farther south as well.

It's not going to stop tomorrow.

You are aware that the LRA is NOT a Muslim army, right?

Yes. But the conflict is between muslims and non-muslims.

Look what is happening in Nigeria and Sudan.

Encroaching muslims eliminating (or attempting to) non-mulsims and imposing Sharia law.
