The recent drop in oil and other commodity prices makes it almost a certainty that some unstable commodity-exporting nations will reach a crisis stage in the next few months. The only question is, which countries are likely to erupt first?
The Middle East is always a safe bet for an explosion, but there is a very good chance the next eruption will be in Africa, with the most likely location being Congo, followed by Sudan. In Latin America, Argentina is headed for another debt default and financial meltdown, and Venezuela continues to rapidly deteriorate. And there is Russia, which is likely to react poorly as its once booming economy goes into to a sharp recession. Pressures will mount on the United States to become involved, particularly in Africa, as mass killings begin again.

“Multinational Exercise Sparks Change for Africa”
By Maj. Eric Hilliard
Special to American Forces Press Service
SNIPPET: “NAVAL STATION ROTA, Spain, Nov. 20, 2008 – U.S. Africa Command wrapped up a 14-nation exercise here today that leaders say was a big step forward in increasing African nations’ ability to manage their own security.”
More neocon blather.
Build the fence.
All these people wanted "self-determination", as far as I can determine so that they can practice genocide on each other.
Fine by me. Let 'er rip.
Leave us out of it.
Last I heard, the UN is fixing everything. Seems they are doing a fine job,(sarc in case you didn’t notice) with another 3,000 troops on the way. Don’t ask me where they get troops from, as long as they aren’t ours I don’t really care.
prob. Islamic butchers from somewhere, doing their part to add further injury to refugees.
B...but I thought the problem with the US was that we never minded our own business. Oh, I get it. We do only what our superiors tell us to do, as in Europe telling us which wars to fight and what bills (of theirs), to pay. However, now that we’ll be led by the great one, Hussein,(for those of you in Rio Linda), pressures will certainly mount to send US troops to Africa asap, plus meals on wheels.
Helping Africa is complicated. It’s not PC to say they need a human genome upgrade, but they do, as do most of the Arabs. Throwing money at them doesn’t help — and sometimes even digging a well causes problems. We need to think long and hard before doing anything. No ‘feel good’ stuff. (Don’t even mention Bill Clinton and Rwanda and his lies on the airport runway about having no idea genocide was going on. ‘It certainly wasn’t his fault’.)
My main point is that what we want won’t matter. Libs under Hussein have already decided Africa is the right place for us to squander lives and lucre.
My concern is that we don't “import” this trash, and the logical politically disasterous consequences, by either allowing them to immigrate (legally or illegally), or by getting involved in their national pissing contests. Killing each other is just what they do and they've become extremely adept at it. Period.
This is silly, Mass killings "began" a long time ago and have not stopped, haven't even abated much since the Rwanda stuff died down a bit. They are continuing in the Eastern Congo right now. It is simply the African way of life.
