Why are "peacekeepers" doing nothing as Rwanda II threatens to unfold?
As America and Europe were in the clutches of eleventh-hour Obamania, a tragedy was unfolding in the heart of Africa: Up to 250,000 Congolese had been driven from their homes in the latest fighting that still threatens to engulf more African nations, driven into fetid refugee camps that supposedly offer U.N. peacekeeper protections from the carnage. On Halloween, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon asked the U.N. Security Council president to consider sending peacekeeping reinforcements to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Security Council didn’t take it up until this week, approving a French resolution to send 2,785 more troops and 300 more police to the beef up the sorely understaffed force of about 17,000 already there.
Oh, and that valiant Ban begging for more troops? The United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, known by its French acronym MONUC, actually asked the U.N. for more troops — properly equipped and trained to react rapidly to the deteriorating situation there, at that — back on Oct. 3. And those freshly approved troops? No volunteers as of this writing. And pencil in another two months or so for their arrival, not likely by MONUC’s Dec. 31 mandate expiration. No rush or anything, U.N...

Obama’s war.
Why won’t Obama help other blacks?
Just in case anyone is wondering about America’s future under the Obamessiah ...
If we can’t even afford to defend ourselves against Muslim terrorists who threaten our civilization and our very existence, how can we afford to end a civil war in the heart of Africa?
It’s horrible to say it, but maybe we should just dismantle the UN and let the Africans solve their own problems. Possibly Christianity will continue to spread through the darkness, and they may find a way to work it out themselves.
It’s a rich continent, full of natural resources. No one but the people themselves can solve their problems, since colonialism and paternalism are now forbidden.
Don’t worry. Now that Hussein is president, we are going to hear about Africa and black skin ad infinitum.
Rwanda 2 is unfolding because Rwanda is involved and so is Uganda and Burundi and a few other players. Actually this is a continuation of the war from 1994 in that area. The people hid in the Congo and now it has erupted again full scale. And this is probably the richest area in natural resources on the face of the planet and not such a great leader either.
Actually, the lines in this area of the world were drawn wrong by former colonial powers whose sole purpose was to rape the land of its natural resources and it was not drawn according to the tribes and people who were there.
And personally, I blame the Belgium for this. They were the ones who measured people’s noses etc and showed favortism to people who looked most like the white people instead of who was in majority in that area. Showing favortism meant maybe an education and maybe a job. The unfortunate part is when the Belgium left Congo/Zaire they did not leave any educated people in to run the country or even run the electricity plant there. Now the squirmishes from the other former Belgium colonies in the area have exacerbated the area and yes, people are going to die for no reason. And I don’t see the UN peacekeeping forces stopping it or France. And I think Belgium should be paying through the nose dearly financially for what they did here up through the 1950’s. But that’s just my opinion and it sad though and yes this part of the world, the peasants will think that we will come to save them with Obama in office but we won’t. We can’t afford it. They don’t care about the French or the UN troops. Also, the UN troops had a small sex scandal a few years ago in the area which doesn’t help to make them credible. Sad, alot of people are going to die
The French “Peacekeepers” when they are not robbing Congo banks, raping women/children, shooting civilians, and killing prisoners don’t do much to stop the civil war in Africa. The same reason why the French vote against sanctions on Sudan, their ELF oil company has huge oil contracts with Sudan and its against their interests.

The UN is a waste of money.
Because he hates them too. Narcissists hate everyone including themselves.

>the UN troops had a small sex scandal a few years ago in the area<
“small sex scandal”, my ass! The progressive media is what kept it a “small sex scandal”. If the truth was known lots of young African children were raped by savages calling themselves African soldiers. Here in America we see the continual Black on Black crimes, murders, robberies and rapes. Our media does their best to hide it by not posting pictures of the victim or criminal but they can’t hide the prison statistics.
I was being sarcastic about the small sex scandal since it is the UN
Answer 1: Because he's half white.
Answer 2: Because he's 7/16 Arab.
Answer 3: (Possibly the worst of all): He will help them. The American military will be sent on hopeless fools' errands to separate warring tribes and build public works that will rapidly rust and rot.
If the horrible African dicatators cease to get money from other countries, they will not have as much money with which to live their disgustinly opulent lifestyles and oppress their people.
