Stupid Congolese! Don't they know it's bad to snack between meals.

Kofi Annan wants the UN to jump into the middle of this. Unreal. Congo is much bigger than Iraq and is still well vegetated, forested. It's fairly populated, too, and apparently they're in a bad mood. Europe was kicked from the continent, and the USA wouldn't be interested in establishing an area-wide presence without commercial prospects.

Doesn't look good for the dark continent.

"...we have never seen human beings hunted and eaten literally as though they were game animals, as has recently happened."

Jesse Jackson seems to know a lot about human rights regarding the abuse of blacks.

Let's send him to straighten out this little problem!

Somehow, somewhere there has to be a way to blame Bush for this.

We won't see it. In order for the lefties to even acknowledge the problem would mean they would have to hit the streets by the millions to protest the injustice in the Congo. That takes money. All the Left's funds have been earmarked for battling the Right and winning the White House back. Saving the world, that sort of thing- it'll have to wait. Easier for them to ignore this...

Aside from all of the 'joking' comments from FReepers, this is a very serious issue. First of all, it's just plain sickening. Secondly, there must be some risk of diseases spreading from this cruel act. Thirdly, the idea of putting soldiers over there where the regard for human life is null and void seems like an endless battle. What to do?
