I'm with you Max. Its not just the government. It's the people as a whole.

But you can't have it both ways. If the U.S. is wrong in Iraq, that it would be wrong in Africa too. Not saying I see your point Kev, because I understand the argument.

Also, it's not just us. It's the entire world. Are we guilty of picking and choosing who we "liberate"? Damn sure we are. But saving the Congo is a tough sell to the people. However difficult Iraq has been, imagine trying to convince selfish Americans that we ought to send our kids to Africa to stop the killing. They just wouldnt buy it. The rest of the world doesn't care either.

You won't hear it debated in the U.N. which is even more guilty if you ask me. The U.S. ought to be concerned with protecting it's own interests whether it be strategic, economic, or otherwise. It's the role of the U.N. to squash things like genocide through multi national pressure and diplomacy.
