What's wrong with Africa? These things don't happen elsewhere.

Diversity is our strength.

Would you care for some fava beans?

Poland, during WWII, had such atrocities (inflicted by both the Germans and the Russians).

[johnboy]

i assume that is a rhetorical question?

[CroftonFreeper]

could we call these animals african americans if they came here ?

[BenLurkin]

Militia, Huh? Probably rabid Rush fans . . .

The Congo conflict has claimed between 3.1 and 4.7 million lives, mainly from war-related hunger and disease, since it began, making it the world's deadliest war since 1945.

It's impossible to argue with those figures, since they obviously made them up, and allowed themselves the widest latitude possible to justify them.

[Humidston]

Boy, I don't know about anyone else, but it sure was comforting to know the U.N. met today to finalize plans for a rapid reaction force, led by France!

Maybe France can teach those folks how to make really stylish white flags.

[Arpege92]

Of course the UN does absolutely nothing! Nothing for them to gain should they intervene!!!

"The United Nations Security Council meets today to finalise plans for a rapid reaction force, led by France, which could be in Bunia by as early as next week."

The article about the mother having to watch...... just terrible.

I read about this situation right here about two weeks ago..... and two weeks ago the UN and France were ready to send in some real FIGHTING troops to quell this mess. Obviously, there's a little bit of stalling going on. I keep thinking they are waiting for the USA to comit a few hundred thousand troops. FRANCE - DO YOUR JOB!! Most of these African countries were YOUR colonies not too long ago. Show your stuff........ they don't have the arms that Iraq had or the nukes that North Korea have. The UN and French response to the problems in Africa are sickening.

"The United Nations Security Council meets today to finalise plans for a rapid reaction force, led by France, which could be in Bunia by as early as next week."

I can just hear the sighs of relief all over Bunia now. "ahhh, now we can relax Mgobobo, the French are coming to throw 50,000 white flags at the crazed gunmen from the Lendu tribe".

I wonder what President Bush could've done to make these people so violent?

Are they lashing out over the unwarranted attack on Iraq?

Are they reacting to President Bush's environmental policies?

Whatever it is, I'm sure the New York Times and CNN will figure it out and let us know.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

.... Lendu militiamen have been eating their victims' hearts and livers, apparently in the superstitious belief that it would make them invincible.

Seems to be working so far. It is keeping the UN and France at bay.

[Imal]

It is said that they never found the body of Vlad the Impaler.

Say, you don't suppose he still walks the Earth, do you?

I wonder how he looks with a handlebar mustache?

[lib-r-teri-ann]

I am a fan of the stories of H. Rider Haggard - a Victorian-era writer who wrote stories of African war and bloodshed.

Apparently, horrific violence, killing your enemies down to the last baby and old man, is part of their "culture". Even in the last century, the unbelievable savagery and animality of African warfare was well known.

[Bush2000]

Democrats, including Jesse Jackson, never talk about the plight of blacks in Africa. What the hell ... they don't vote Democrat, right?

[10mm]

I've said this before on previous threads and was excoriated for it: Africa needs to be re-colonized and civilization forced upon it, unapologetically. They have proven themselves incapable of self-government.
