Why not protect them first? The anti-war crowd, the leftist media and the Democrats would have a fit. Remember, President Bush received authority from Congress to go to war in Iraq. We do what is politically feasible. Because we haven't militarily intervened in Africa doesn't mitigate the positive humanitarian role we've played in Iraq.

I believe we have a far better chance of doing something positive in Africa if Bush remains President, then if Kerry were elected. Kerry would probably do nothing and complain (half-heartedly), to the hapless U.N. forever. The same U.N. that stood by and did nothing during the Clinton years while Rwandan's were being slaughtered. The same U.N. that was willing to stand by and do nothing while Iraqi's were being slaughtered.
