#1 Maybe the UN could surrender.

Hey, they think that's the solution for civil war in Iraq. Maybe for once the UN could abide by their own principles.

#9 The problem for the West involving Africa now is that the recent election in the US put the race hucksters and syncophants in charge of the House and Senate. This will tie the hands of Bush in any dealings with Africa, just as Tony Blair has his hands tied by the Labour Party's anti-Western faction. Unless and until the West decides that Africa needs to have a strong Western-led housecleaning, that continent will continue its downward spiral. The only places in sub-Saharan Africa that have anything resembling stability and economic growth are those that have had direct Western intervention recently. The exception to this had been South Africa, but with the recent rise of the Comrades in the ANC, SA is now doomed to do a Zimbabwe in the near future. Funny that an unreconstructed Communist like Mandela was smart enough to put that aside to grow SA while he was President, but his younger replacements are willing to throw it all away.
