The Janjaweed should be wiped out or tried at the International Court in the Hague, and probably executed. We should go for, as the Bush administration likes to call, "regime change" in the Sudan and "pre-emptive strike" against the hateful people that rise in the highest rank of the Sudanese  government. But, it is not in the US interests to get involved. I wish we would learn the lesson of other genocides. Why don't we act on morality in our foreign policy?

Try to convince the usa gov who r supporting all this brutal israeli actions,and the israelies will stop,\nwhy should the israelies destroy a whole town to free one  soldier!!!\nthey can negotiate over him in a peacfull way,\nor\nthey sure can send a special force unit to search for him and save him if they know where he is, instead of all that,\nand if they dont know where he is,so how they think they will save him by mass invasion to gaza,and by destroying the infrastracture of a city with a very hight population,not carring how many they kill and harm in the way?they propably will get him killed that way\nand in the same time all the innocent civ,including KIDS,will be badly harmed by the electricity & water cut.\nWhy r u punishing the palestinians for electing their gov in a democratic way,is it cause u dont like their DEMOCRATIC choice,u make them suffer this way?\nusa could stop all that with one phone call from the white house,and try to stop a new human massacres,but i think that the american gov ,agree and bless whats hapening.\n\nsend e-mails to usa gov and ask them to stop & not support whats happening there,thats what any good average american can do.

It is not the worst, merely another example of failed US foreign policy which has never changed.  The US has always been and remains the same: "Do whatever is in 'US interests', regardless of the consequences".  \n\nIf the US had two choices:\n1) Enact a policy that benefits both countries\n2) Enact a policy that benefits the US the same at the other but is detrimental to the other country\nThe US would ALWAYS choose the second.  It's a part of the "manifest destiny" crap, the US's selfish and self-appointed view that the world is here for its benefit.  \n\nAmericans, as a general rule, haven't figured out that other countries and other peoples have the same right to live freely and do what is in their own interests.  US policy of supporting dictators was the greatest cause of communism during the Cold War, and became the greatest cause of fundamentalist islam since the Cold War ended.\n\nThe US has and continues to support dictators and help topple democracies in many countries because the US thinks it will benefit more by supporting such regimes.  Perhaps in the short term it does, but in the long term such policies led to resentment and helped build extremism instead of democratic change which was violently repressed by said dictators with the help of the US:\n\n- Iran (a democracy before the US and UK helped the Shah into power)\n- Nicaragua (the Sandanista are going to be reelected democratially as they were before now that US interference is waning)\n- Cuba (democratic movements in the 1950s were quashed, making communism the only alternative)\n- Pakistan (not just Musharraf, but Al Haq)\n- Philippines\n- South Korea (the puppet Syngman Rhee murdered thousands of his own people, almost a competition with the US generals who murdered thousands; read about the Noh Gun Ri massacre)\n- Cambodia (the US supported the Khmer Rouge)\n- Afghanistan (the US funded the Taliban in the 1980s)\n- Vietnam (the brutal regime of the south)\n- Argentina\n- Brazil\n- Chile (Salvador Allende was democratically elected but was overthrown by US-backed Augusto Pinochet)\n- El Salvador\n- Haiti\n- Grenada (the US invaded in the 1980s to prevent Cuba from building an airport; Grenada's economy has never recovered from the loss of income from not having it)\n\nI'd list all the instances, but I don't feel like spending three hours typing them all.\n\n-----------\n\nAdditional:\n\nHey, "Marshall", do you have a selective memory or a short one?\n\nYou said: \n\n"[O]ne individual suggested that the United States simply 'gave up' on finding Usama bin Laden, and turned to Iraq. The truth is, we have not given up on finding UBL, nor will we 'give up' looking for him until he is either confirmed dead or is captured."\n\nExplain this quote, then:\n\n"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."\n- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

There would be utter chaos. Their government is not strong enough to support itself and there would be groups trying to overthrow it. It would just lead to more violence than there is now. This is just a big mess that the United States has gotten itself into. There is nothing more we can do there but if we pull out it would probably be worse than it was before we went in. There's just no answer for how to solve this problem.

We are an amazingly divided people and need to get over our petty differences if we ever hope to do anything good on a large scale.\n\nGetting rid of Bush would also be nice.

Allow Muslims to resolve their own internal conflicts, remove the US and coalition troops from the Middle East. \n\nTheir people must have the desire to create change. \n\nThe US is responsible for the current unrest in the Middle East and should acknowledge that publicly. Admit our mistakes and be willing to help resolve the problem IF (and only IF) we are asked to. Otherwise stay out and let them resolve it.\n\nA joint effort to restore tranquility must come from all neighboring countries. Non-military efforts should be tried first, focus on restoring the desire for peace among the people in that area. At the same time, raise the quality of life above survival mode and try to police the areas in order to reduce crime and violence.\n\nOtherwise, the chaotic cycle will continue.

You know you are right.  We should just let bi-gones be bi-gones.  Every time someone attacks the USA we should turn the other cheek.  As a matter of fact we should remove our soldiers and diplomats from all other countries.  Tell all of our international companies to close up their foreign offices and factories and stop all outside activities.  Lets become hermits.  YOU MAKE ME SICK!  YOU PROBABLY DON"T EVEN VOTE< JUST MOAN AND GROAN!  If you don't like the way things are going then get up and do something but until then shut up.

No.\n\nThe US can do it to itself.

Sadly, I don't think the U.S. has an official position on the situation in the Congo.  In some respects, it is understandable that other areas would gain our focus right now, but I think our foreign policy has suffered recently, because of that.

1.) Stop the current U.S. invasions of innocent countries. \n\n2.) KILL the proposed amendment to stop Gay marriage and educate the public that it is prejudice that creates sensless proposals like this.\n\nBonus.) Provide a full investigation into the Food and Drug Administration to stop the lies, drugs and poisons they are feeding to the American public about Health Care and food.\n   \n:)\nPeace

I think the USA should just leave the rest of the world alone,we've got enough of our own problems to deal with.

I have this to add:\n\nPlease go back to your country in peace and help make it a better place for you and YOUR country-men. Please, the US cannot handle the population growth.\n\nThank you.

I would seek open, internationaaly monitorred dialogue with those who oppose the US, to see what it is that they really want, and need. The US is now in the position to play Santa Claus to the world. While we may not give what they want, we may be able to help with what they need, and in turn get some folks off of our backs. A good portion of the problem s we see, today, come from negligence, whether intentional or not. Others come as a result of politics from before most of our times. \n\nAn invitation to a no-strings-attached summit would put the onus upon our detractors, and place the US back where it belongs. The place of a well to do neighbor, who can help their community. Of course, that comes with the understanding that in a community of nations we become symbiotic with one another. Those who want to be outside of that know where the door is.

Depends on his age...if he's younger...i agree with Kenya.  If he's older...I think he would get more credit doing it on Zim, or senegal as it's not as well known.  Zimbabwe is a beautiful country...but at the moment there is a lot of political instabality.  I visited there a while ago...and absolutely loved it.  While info on Kenya might be easier to come by, I do think that you can find just as much info on Zim.  A cpl of ideas:  the victoria falls are gorgues (borders zambie and zim like canada and u.s.),  some websites i found just by googling 'zimbabwe':  http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/zi.html\nhttp://www.africa.upenn.edu/Country_Specific/Zimbabwe.html - this one provides external links to more info on the country\nwww.gta.gov.zw\n\ngood luck

Africa...no question.\nThe USA only look after themselves.\n\nThe US doesn't give aid so much as cynically uses it's wealth to 'buy' global political advantage. It's never some altruistic humanitarian reason, they always demand something in return.
