>>>> Diplomats, journalists and people working for humanitarian organizations are forced to do business with despicable regimes. And I think it is time this ceased, Nadine. If these groups would leave a country when it is this bad, and announce to the world why, the regime would fall. If it did not fall, there would be less trouble getting support for changing it. And everyone is criticizing the US for causing collateral damage in the course of removing undesirable individuals.... It's not so clear any of these regimes would fall that quickly, the situation is so desperate in many sub Saharan African countries that abandoning the population to their sort probably wouldn't hasten the depart of the leaders in practice.
