This is not our fight, and it is not our place to kill anybody in the Congo. If any outsiders have an interest there, it is the French and Belgians who once ruled different parts of it. Otherwise, the two sides will stop fighting only when they get tired of fighting -- if they ever do. I have no interest in meddling in the African interior.

I also have no interest in meddling in Africa.
Like the middle east, it is a barbaric bottomless pit of horrors.
What I do not understand is sending billions of USA taxpayer dollars to "fight" a preventable disease,and ignoring the genocide encouraged by the French government in Africa.
Again, I am not interested in meddling in Africa,but I am interested in why a "virus" gets money from us, and the wholesale slaughter of "other than Islamics", is ignored.
Billions of taxpayer dollars on the way to Africa,but did any of us really get to vote on why and what for?
Pardon my rant, but if billions of USA tax dollars have to be spent in Africa to save lives, in the name of humanity,( I am not happy with this abuse of US taxes anyway)should not our priority be in the name of all humanity,and not in the name of a preventable sexually transmitted disease?
I find it very interesting that the posted article pointedly ignores any mention of religious affiliations in the current "dispute".

Ditto. Europe needs to clean up its own mess.
