> No democracy is seen in the Congo as children are being used as sex slaves

Surely this writer isn’t advocating US intervention in the Congo simply because tens of thousands of African children are forced into prostitution.
How about the on-going horrors the poor street children in Brazil have had to endure for decades? Should we intervene in Brazil as well?
Where do we as a nation mark the line when it comes to intervening in another sovereign nation’s activities?
Are we supposed to be the Policemen of the World for all eternity?
And for crying out loud, how much money can the Federal Government keep spending on these foreign interventions before the Federal Government is bankrupt?
After all, this entire cluster fuck of a war in Iraq has cost the American taxpayer over $300 billion, adding another trillion to our already enormous and unpayable national debt of $8.6 trillion.
You do-gooders need to look more at the money trail before you start asking the State Department to intervene in yet another sovereign nation’s internal affairs.
And, more importantly, you do-gooders need to focus on the problems we have at home, which are considerable, such as an unpayable national debt that if left unresolved will make the US a second rate economic power, costing us millions of jobs, and eventually our future prosperity.
Come on, lady, the US Federal Government’s primary task is to take care of its own, something our political class, both Repukables and Dimocrats, have failed miserably in doing, precisely because they would rather intervene in another Third World country, not for the good of the oppressed, but always for the aggrandizement of rich multi-nationals and the World Bank, instead of minding the store at home.
This has been the bread and butter of our parasitic political class, intervening in undeveloped countries under false pretenses, only to rape them further with the help of the IMF and the World Bank, as they allow foreign investors to obtain Third World countries’ infant infrastructures, like their telecommunications and motorways, for a song, thus prolonging any undeveloped country’s entry into the 21st Century and thus prolonging the agony of so many of the oppressed peoples of the Third World.
There is a very good reason why so many Third World nations remain poor, despite the fact that they have enormous resources and potential.
The reason is called foreign exploitation. And on top of the list of foreign exploiters is our own country, America.
US intervention under these often presumptous ’altruistic’ intentions have proven to back fire in the past, and often are done at the behest of another party under false pretenses, such as giant multi-nationals that happened to be favorites of both US political parties, such as Union Carbide in India and the United Fruit Company in Central America.
What is happening in Iraq is no anomaly, it is merely the worst case scenario of America’s constant intervention in other nations’ affairs under false pretenses.
