The more I read the less I'm thrilled about the prospects of sending troops there. It would be nice to stabilize Africa, but where can we put a foothold that we won't be supporting some African, lunatic dictator? Oh, but we could get the UN involved... you know, that organization run by that African, socialist dictator.

Wow, what an old fashioned paternalistic attitude!

Who are you (we) to think that it's your (our) calling to manipulate independent states of that continent?! They fought a long armed struggle to achieve their independence, and now you (we?) want to take it away from them?!

IMHO, we could learn something from the security fence now being built between Israel and the palis' realm... Isolate them (politically, economically and otherwise), and leave them to resolve their tribal problems themselves. Some day in not so distant future Africa would become an absolutely safe place... AIDS and warlords are very effective for this purpose.

Oh, and something else: please, no refugees from there, not in my neighbourhood at least.
