*****************************************************************

Vera,

This latest attack on a people is shameless.  It took 100 years for the
anger to boil to the surface in Rwanda between the Hutus and the Tutsis.
Why?  Because of a seed of hatred that was planted by Belgium (one person).
Get to know a little bit about your subject before you claim expertise.
There are salient aspect of the continent that only an African understands.
Take a vacation to a small part of it (country).

Peter

"Those who want to learn will learn.  Those who think they know it all
won't!  Not even Yale could help Bush."

I think it's quite a stretch to blame Bush for Africa's problems. How can
one man cause all that in 8 years?  The G-8s are not to blame for every
single issue affecting the nations and the people of Africa. They aren't.
How much education and capabilities do the people ALL OVER the continent
have??? It is immeasurable. There is nothing that is done in the G-8s that
cannot be done there. Absolutely nothing. And yes, I will repeat it: Africa
has the lion's share of the world's mineral resources. The combination of
the resources, capability and education should have resulted in a major
world power. The reason they have not is because of the actions of the
people. A house divided against itself shall not stand. A lack of unity of
thought, purpose and action will cause destruction. As long as people prey
on each other, there can be no progress and improvement. Greed, corruption,
and lasciviousness (no limits to one's behavior) can destroy nations, one
family at a time.
