Too bad we don't do Regime Change for Humanitarian Reasons

[GAsux]

Again I see the problem as being mounting a public awareness campaign to get people to care about the problems first. No one is going to offer those types of assistance as long as the world turns a blind eye to them. No government is going to take the lead in throwing billions of dollars and tons of support into Africa unless the general population represented by those governments begins to express it's outrage.

Until those events become "newsworthy" and better recognized and understoon by average citizens, governments are unlikely to provide little more than lip service.
