    I thought that this thread, and the skepticism Prole' expressed for the UN, are of renewed importance given the current state of affairs.

    Civil War in Syria, A resurgent Al Qaeda in Iraq, continuing violence in Afghanistan, unrest and conflict throughout Islamic Africa...the list goes on. At the same time, the USA is continuing a de facto policy of disengagement -- at least militarily -- throughout the Middle East, despite a minority call for greater involvement.

    Despite Prole's skepticism, and however kleptomanaically and laggardly the effort, the UN has had some success of late (2013) in Congo.

    Should the USA continue to disengage? With the USA seemingly backing away from it's role as de facto "World Policeman" can aggressive UN efforts such as that in the Congo serve as a practical model moving forward? Are states such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Congo capable of forming working democratic institutions on their own? If not, does the UN or any nation have the right/duty to go in and impose order until such institutions can form -- and remember, folks, that Iraq suggests that the process of such an occupation would be decades-long, likely until an entirely new generation reaches 30-35 years of age and real cultural change takes place.

    In addition, some of the old comments and writers are eloquent, interesting, and in some cases shockingly "current" despite the age of the thread.
    "The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman

    "The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken

    I think the western world should just sit back and let Africa be Africa.

    When Africa has decided to be civilized, ie, a country has someone who actually speak for the PEOPLE, we can take up negotiations again.

    But enough of this ******************************************************** where we try to civilize and at the same time get blamed for causing the problems.

    LET AFRICA BE AFRICA!!!!!!!!!



    Personally, my main concern is: How can we stop the western world being invaded by African people with trash culture and trash upbringing?

    And it's only my main concern as, as I write this, there is some negroe outside trying to break into a car. I bet he is high on khat.

    Yeah yeah, I called the police, and pizza... Guess who gets here first?

    Boy do you not get it. Africa is Africa BECAUSE of the western world. Outside of the Maghreb and Egypt all African nations are the result of Western interference.

    Yeah, and before the white man Africa was some utopia?

    It was cultural trash before we came, it's cultural trash now.

    They sure like shaking it to them drums...

    I'd still prefer to go to Brazil though... Not only better dancers, but attractive... Oh, and the population and culture isn't absolute trash.
