Crisis in Congo

Great video. A very sad situation there.

Our news say this leader of the rebels want to join the official army of congo, so I think it is better eating this frog instead keep going on to kill people.

Watch the video!

Lets face it folks,if the world truly wants to stop this,the gloves must come off. Send in the us troops to either disarm the rebels,or,anihlate them.over take the goverment and disarm those troops,or put them in prison,or if they resist,kill them.Supervise free and open elections,and then stick around to make sure the new and democratic goverment is doing what its suppose to.
While thats going on,develop medical and educational facilities run by,you guessed it,the U.S. military.Special forces need to infiltrate the country side winning the "hearts and minds" of the non combatants, so they would give up information on oposition to the new goverment,and when they find it,snuff it out with extreem predudice.The only way to deal with a truly desperate situation,is to use desperate means,And somthing has to be done about the influx of soviet type weapons,its not going to happen by "making nice" with the goverment,they are as much to blame as the rebels and the U.N.? hell,they are as useless as tits on a tom cat,they are responsible for atrocities on there own.Bottom line,the utter corruption and lack of care for the country or its inhabitants,will only end when the U.S.makes a true commitment.But unlike Iraq,we will want a precentage of the vast natural rescorces,curently being squandered,and if they dont like that plan?well,wipe our hands and the hell with em.

Owlcritic, do you have the foggiest idea of just how large the Congo is, how large its population is, how difficult the terrain is? In order to do what you suggest, you'd need at least a million troops in the country at a time, and probably twice that much. Then, there are the language barriers - do you know how many different languages are spoken in the different provinces and regions? You'd have to teach these languages to the US troops before sending them in, otherwise they would not be able to accomplish much with regard to the local people - and then there are the different tribal cultures that they would have to understand so as to not make huge mistakes with the population.

The US does not need t get involved in the congo. Thanks to Bush we have our military forces in battle, and way too many young Americans dying in enough other countries right now. Let someone else worry about the congo. (yes, I know thats cold hearted, but it needed to be said)

to brockie: I do not say Mr Bush send your young people into the war in congo; but if I would and tell him theyr is a lot of differnt importand stuff like gold and diamonds and so on he would.
Even oil is there say some people.

I STILL SAY THERE HAS TO BE A WAY THESE KILLERS OF HUMAN BEINGS CAN BE STOPPED.

Owlcritic, French is spoken mostly in the cities, and the few people who speak French in the rural and tribal areas speak a French that even the French cannot understand.

Your solution is wrong, it cannot work.

I think this french is comparible with the english which is spoken in some countries in the back woods like India or evensomewhere in the USA.
I was there!!
