Too bad that Africa was deprived of another 200 years of colonialism. Compare with India, for instance, where the longer British rule accomplished bringing many western concepts and norms into the mainstream.

Now I really don't see a hope for it. Maybe a huge revival type movement? One can understand the attraction of Islam for a lot of these tribes and people.

I think it will get much worse.

Bush is a fool on this topic.

Compare with India

Wrong comparison dude, India has a far more older culture than Africa, bar Egypt, far older than the English. But yeah, the Brit rule did some good bringing India out of the morass it sank into after theIslamic invasions sapped the life out of the country (thank God it didn't succeed in completely conquering the country as what happened in Iran). The only part of India that is going steadily downhill isPakistan, tell u quite a bit, doesn't that?

Agree completely. Colonization is the answer, was the answer.

In India last week, my wife told me that some ungodly number of little girls died because they had become an economic burden for their parents.

As an adoptive father, I just couldn't believe it. I want to say the number was 15,000 girls.

In the last newsletter I got from our adoption agency, there was 4 domestic adoptions (2 were special needs) and there were 30 chinese and russian adoptions. What about India as a source of adoptees?

We should offer to repatriate any descendent of any nation that has a beef with the way they've been treated here in the big bad slave nation of the US. Sorry to you and yours, here's your ticket, have a nice life.

The only thing that will save Africa is garrisons of European or US troops. That isn't going to happen. The other thing would be prayer. Now with that, anything is possible.
