But, theoretically, you could spin it. People know about the atrocities that happened. All you'd have to do is open that can of worms for the public eye.

Yeah, I know. I wish WE could do something for humanitarian reasons for one time other than maybe WW 2 and that wee bit in Kosova...but, the US public won't support a war with casualties that has nothing in it for them, and I hate to say it, I really, really do - africa ain't got much that the average american would consider worthwhile. I mean oil = the gas in their cars is a simple equation that hits people hwere they live....Africa is tough...even IF you got the momentum..I mean look at some of the anti-war rhetoric about Iraq at the moment - "Those muslims don't even appreciate our help. Screw em, bring the boys home..." That'd ne coming hundred times as thick from a bloody African campaign...
