The UN's Badge of Shame: Darfur, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo
i have a feeling we'll have to let africa descend into a nuclear holocaust before anyone in the west cares. that may well happen, since a group "with ties to al-qaeda" has allegedly taken control of the capitol city of Somalia, where bin Laden and his cronies got a good laugh when our soldiers were run out of town on a rail by angry mobs in 1993 (story of "Black Hawk Down").
we never even stopped to think about what they were so mad about, did we? talk about not learning from our mistakes!
i wonder what Elie Wiesel would have to say about it. His book "Night" is on the best-seller list again now that it has a new translation. it's about his experience in the holocaust. i highly recommend it. he's on my list of John McCain-like heroes for surviving tragedy and actively trying to make the world a better place because of it.
what on earth is the point of the UN if it isn't going to descend onto these miserable corners of the earth to restore law and order and basic safety and human rights immediately? it's shameful.
our grocery stores have more different brands of bottled water than God probably has, while millions of people in Africa cannot prevent their children from dying of malaria and dysentery every day.
