#1 The Libyans have been in and out here for years. I think one of the French interventions in the 80's was to defeat the Libyans.

And, why did the French turn their back on the Republic? Perhaps because its government refused to toe the Francophone line? After all, the French had little problem when it was the Central African Empire and its emperor ate people at state dinners.

And just how many places are some form of Congo rebels going to intervene? Maybe we should sign them up to help with Iraq. They seem to want to be everywhere else.
