In the long run, the solution may be the boring work of development, Gottschalk says. "The LRA goes to places where there is little development, they don't go to places where there are big roads," he says. "So if you start to squeeze that area, building roads, bringing in infrastructure, you're not only bringing development to the most neglected corners of Africa, you're also reducing the territory that the LRA can operate in." | |

#11 OK, so he's a nominal Christian at best, with guns, mixed up with a little local hokum. The article doesn't say so but I wonder if it's a little like this: Uganda sends troops to Somalia so we pay them back by sending troops to Uganda. Is that our dog in this fight? |

#9 Zero is trying to tie the US into the 21st century version of Kipling's White Man's Burden. EXCEPT that we get NO benefits out of it, pay ALL of the costs, and lose ALL of the people doing it. Feel-good socialist social engineering and sticking it to the flyover country whites who make up the political resistance and most of the military as well. |

#5 How...Roman. Watch it, with that Japanese CO2 Sat report that is exactly what will be sold. And recovering SAMs. Nation building is what they called it at one point in time. |

#1 So Africa is more shovel-ready than the US? Oh that's right, they don't have all those pesky eco-regs and NIMBY-ites to contend with. |
