| #8 I know contractors have been hired by State going back to the 90's to "train" locals in various subsaharan, west and East African countries. |

| #7 Nothing new here. I was in Angola and a couple of other places back in the 70s. We've been up to our neck in crap in that place for a very long time. |

| #6 War by State Department (by people who really don't understand the nature of war or the military instrument they're employing. IIRC an old Guinness World Records noted that there has only been about 200 year or less of peace throughout the civilized world - those who keep records. War is a natural rather than unnatural state of human conditions but taught in 'institutions of higher learning' as an aberration rather then a constant.) |

| #5 Not just Africa. I know a number of SF guys who specialize in Africa and SE Asia. They seem to be gone on 'business' a lot these days. |

| #3 This is where Champ's heart lies. Besoeker, your statement has a huge assumption. |

| #2 This is where Champ's heart lies. His, and many other's cause célèbre. Been mentioned here more than a time or two. Never a problem however, with turning a pious beltway back on evil, apartheid, colonial regimes or the systematic genocide of white farmers and businesses. The 'quiet' embrace of tyrants like Mugabe and Zuma, much more civilized and modern. Firewalled by oceans; letting the noble savages burn themselves out, as it has successfully been done for 40,000 years, no longer an option. We must righteously intervene, wasting both lives and treasure. |
