Karen,

I know. The problem is that it doesn't fit the preconceived notions of either side in our local debating society. Our liberals want to ignore it because if we go in it obviates a lot of their opinions. Our right wing will view it as outside of our national interest (since their is no oil or minerals that we must get from there).

The fact is most of the African insurgencies involve small arms or light infantry and at worst maybe some small armored units. With no great powers playing against each other - these problems are solvable. We should go in here and the French, Belgians and other Euro's should clean up their colonial messes in the DNC and surrounding states.
