I kept thinking someone else would. I think we've all been guilty of such passivity at times, but the extent of that human disaster was so great I don't think anyone really believed it was as bad as it was, till it was over and done. I just honestly think it was out of sight, out of mind till too late to do anything. But there are so many situations today in sub-Sahan Africa, notably Angola, which just cry out for some form of aid from the West. It's stupefying that we can have adult life expectancies in the 40 year range in this day and age in any country, but that is the reality of the situation.
