Probably not the same as seeing it with your own eyes so go ahead and call me a rich kid that doesn't understand a thing.

Concerning your post Tuffy, the thing about creating a better life for other people, I think it's noble, even if you have to shoot a lot of bad guys in the process but I often wondered why so little seems to be done in that respect in africa until lately when I was happy to hear that europeans support democratic elections and peacekeeping there. Talk about the middle east and it's evil dictators all you want but people there are not starving by the thousands and I don't think they have as many children soldiers whosse families were brutally murdered and their villages burned down either, which makes me think we should really make a difference in Africa, the middle east is about to catch up with western values and democracy anyway or at least people there don't have it that bad, which is not to say they don't have any poverty there.

That's my perspective.
Africa needs to be dealt with. It is the leading international source of poverty, corruption, disease, and widespread violence. I'm sure that the African people will have interesting things to say if we get everyone and their mothers to stop stepping on their throats.
