So I am curious...how many people have to die before the world really does pay attention to this disaster.

1 million?
2 million?

What about 3 million?

How many?

Will the world ever take notice?

Will the world just allow them to kill themselves off? Do we just go forward and believe that "there is nothing we can do"

How is this different from the jews being killed off?

How is this different from any other genocide?

Does it matter that the people are from Africa?

Does it matter that they are black?

I don't know the answers...but I am asking.

I don't understand the situation enough to know what the right answers are.

I do know one thing...something needs to be done.

You know, I'm reminded of Rwanda and indeed the Sudan. But part of the problem with intervening in Rwanda was the backlash against Somali intervention and Aidid's people were relatively civilized compared to these evil brutes.

I don't know why the Clinton administration denied APCs to the UN mission in Rwanda to at least get some Tutsis to safety and I don't know why we don't rally world support to do something in the Congo. We need not have our own men fight there, let the UN contingent do that, but give them the "mandate" to FIGHT.

Naaah -- Africa's not geographically close enough for this to spread to Europe for them to care; It won't produce any profits for Kofi Annon and the other UN vultures; The "compassionate" Democratic phonies realize it won't produce a voting constituency here in the U.S.; The GOP is afraid to take action for SOME unknown reason.
