She\'ll be assassinated in about a week. I\'m not kidding either. When I minority enters office, the KKK and other racism groups will be pissed and shoot the minority president. I don\'t think its fair and I think everyone should have the right to office without worrying about being killed.
Call me picky but isn\'t that the reason why the US\'s popularity isn\'t as high as some of you want it to be outside America
that fact that all of this never usualy reaches the starving masses ?
i mean most Aid is Either Captured by Warlords to feed their troops.
or
"acquired" by a corrupt Government.. then repackaged and then given to the starving masses (result ?) = starving masses think the corrupt Government saved the day.
We try to help starving people. Yes. Its called humanitarian work. America does it all the time. We tried it in Somalia but Adid (sp), stole the food and gave it to his troops. We went after him and got our ass kicked but in actuality, we kicked their ass. We lost a total of 19 Rangers and Delta Force soldiers and we killed over 2000 of their troops.
You can\'t blame the fact that the food doesn\'t meet our target people on the US. You have to blame it on whoever steels it. From what I understand when reading this post, you are saying that its our fault. Our rules of engagement are if you are fired upon is only when you fight back. So we can\'t just go fireing on the theifs. But there were only a few times when the food was stolen, Somalia being the big one. It usually does reach the starving people but it doesn\'t help all that much, but its better than nothing.
