Are you referring to the lack of financial interest the US has in these areas ? My own take, sadly, is that it is because these are not people of "European" heritage.

To their credit, the only sector which has been interested in these stories are the Christians in this country.

Your cynicism is overtaking your judgment.

We ignore the African problem because we have NO NATIONAL INTERESTS at stake: unlike Saddam, no African country finances terrorism against us, nor trains terrorists to work against us, nor is producing C-B-R weapons for use against us, or anyone else.

Thus, the African problems are quite properly the province of the United Nations, whose task is to render humanitarian assistance and, if necessary, military force to implement justice.
