It was the left that led the opposition to war in Iraq. Now it is the left that is most strenuous in urging intervention in Liberia. Curious.
No blood for oil, it seems, but blood for Liberia. And let us not automatically assume that Liberia will be an immaculate intervention. Sure, we may get lucky and suffer no casualties. But Liberia has three warring parties, tons of guns and legions of desperate fighters. Yet pressure is inexorably building to send American troops to enforce a peace.
I am going to assume that your statement is truly based on ignorance.
"Dirty Needles" in Africa are a result of medical procedures, not drug addiction. People there don't have the money to become needle addicts. They may smoke some ganja (pot) but they are too poor to afford the drugs of the west.
The medical facilities in Africa are appalling.
You're a heartless bastard and a cynic.
I've lived there too.
Africa is not over.
I didn't scan down far enough.
Sorry.
