#1 Maybe he could convince Paris Hilton and her skanky friend to do one of their roadtrips out by the Zambezi?

#2 The rest of the article is much more interesting. It is a sad, sad commentary on the West that this thugocracy has been allowed to continue to exist. Africa in general is suffering because Western leaders are afraid that they might be called racist if they criticize black despots. From Idi Amin to Robert Mugabe, no excess is too great. If Rwanda were in South America or Europe, it would never have been allowed to happen. Political correctness is the death knell of black Africa.

#5 Cuba. 90 miles away and we let it happen.

And, of course, if you want to back further: Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czechoslovakia.

The times when we did try to do something are the rarities.

#6 Note the MSM's bizarre silence about the nightmare that is post-apartheid South Africa. Ten years after the end of apartheid, you have a situation that in many ways is as bad as Iraq barely a year after Saddam's fall. Of all the states that are not at war, SA's Johannesburg is the most violent city on the planet. One third of the adult female population have been raped. 50% unemployment. 20% of the population (3.6 million) have AIDS.

Again, this is ten years after the end of apartheid. And the MSM call Iraq a disaster??
