Actually there is alot of oil there. Then you got huge ass diamond deposits, , silver, and gold.

Funny ewm, you consider losses during the iraq war high, which was a total victory. You seem to care little about the brave members of task force ranger, delta force, and the 160th SOAR, and consider those loses insignificant.

Back to the topic, please. I find the goal to end poverty to be a very noble cause, and it should not be ignored. Just because of some idiots who killed innocent lives doesn't mean that we should turn our heads away. What we people could do is help innocent people who are very less fortunate. I agree with Nelson Mandela that it is a man-made problem, and as humans, we must end that problem. Helping the less fortunate, whether they are African, American (it exists here, too), South America, and elsewhere, is a very noble cause that must be taken seriously and can be very rewarding.

Yes rewarded with american lives lost. Some parts in africa just arn't civilized enough to even try, with local warlords fighting amoungst each other for another mile of land, food, etc. It's sad, we try to help, and get RPGed for it.

The reason this poverty exists is because of $#!@heads like Been Laid (that's my nickname for bin Laden) and That D@mned Hussy (my nickname for Saddam) do stupid crap to other people around them. Did you see the video that we all supposedly saw? If you didn't, watch it! Those poor people are innocent victims of violence and ignorance, and that's why poverty is a "man-made" problem.

That's why we have the UN and charitable organizations. As I said, the war on poverty is a very noble cause that should never be ignored.

I saw a short video of saddams henchmen torturing some guy, it was horrible. That kind of treatment leaves scars on someone for life, physical and mental. Thats what lets people be able to commit attrocities without a second thought.

Ewm, you bitch about 1,500 troops dieing, which is a very low number for an entire war. But you don't seem to give 19 servicemen a second thought. Those 19 servicemen died trying to get food to those hungry in africa, by capturing the person preventing it. But everyone in mogadishu attacked our troops, shot down 2 60s, and dragged american bodies through the streets. Thats why were not going back in a hurry ewm

I on the other hand understand that these people died to help others, on both occasions. The thing about africa, is for the most part, they just wanna fight each other. Then when we come in, they all target us, and make our troops the common enemy of everyone.

Let me see. There are many more raw materials in africa, not more oil tho, still alot of it.

AND OF COURSE IT GOES BACK TO BUSH, it's all bushs fault, it's bushs fault that i'm not richer then I am, that I don't feel well today. It's prolly bushs fault it rained yesterday.

i think sins you caled me a bich i shood call you my HO but i not going to be cuss insolting the uther person wont help me get my pont acrose.

africa is a big place as i sed be for some places in africa we whood be welcomed and whood face lital resitons we lost all 19 of those us troops in somalea. we cant give up what mesege duss that sind to osama and the insergeas in iraq if wee kill a nuff america that will leev and not come back. so we got ower finger cut we are a tuff contry and sins bush is a repulican he can do what cliton cood not and that go back in to africa.

the reson iraq looked so good is the oil was owned by sodam husane if we took him out thare whood be no clam to the oil.
in africa alot of the oil is all redy owned by uther contrys or uther companys so taking tham over whood be hard.

well bush chose to be presadent this is what hapinds to a presadent when things go rong to a contry a presadent runs.
