Congo soldiers explain why they rape

bcglorfsays...

A lot of the same monsters in the Congo that are killing tutsi's right now are the ones that killed almost 800,000 in Rwanda. Go see more of what that was like here.

Insanity doesn't even begin to describe it, and the whole cursed world still can't be bothered to do anything about it. Every hawk that wants to go into a foreign country for their own benefit and every peace nik that doesn't want military force to ever be used should be strapped into a chair with their eyes taped open and be forced to watch what is really happening over here.

@bcglorf:
But there's far more money to be made selling arms and drugs to all sides and continuing the fighting than there would be if they stopped.

Besides there's not a lot of oil in Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, etc. to really warrant the kind of military force needed to establish some semblance of order there. Sorry, it's just not cost effective. Give us a call when Africa has some energy resources worth exploiting. Maybe when GE develops Juju conversion power plants we'll take an interest.

That explains the rationalization of the hawks, but the peace niks leave me harder to peg. They too cry for the day nations will mind their own business while this kind of horror goes on and they could care less about the resources .

Why invade a country of no strategic interest to us? That would be like Clinton's pointless Bosnian and Somalian fugazis.

The more enlightened Africans want all aid to Africa to cease.

If they really want to fight poverty, they should completely halt development aid and give Africa the opportunity to ensure its own survival. Currently, Africa is like a child that immediately cries for its babysitter when something goes wrong. Africa should stand on its own two feet.

Yep, according to some accounts, about 6 million people have died between '94 and today. I wouldn't say nothing has been done though. From what I've read, France and the US have actually had a bit of an impact on the central African situation. There has been evidence that the 1994 Rwandan genocide was sparked by the assassination of Rwanda's president. The act was carried out by American allies, the Rwandan Patriotic Front. The leader of the RPF (and now de facto leader of Rwanda) is Paul Kagame, who was trained in Texas. I also read that in 1996, a US Congressional inquiry discovered that President Clinton had secretly been sending military aid to Kagame's forces as they were overthrowing Kabila in Zaire.

I would be surprised if Bush was totally ignoring central Africa, especially considering Kagame's ties to America. I believe Kagame was first being groomed by Bush Sr.'s administration, too. We probably just don't know what actions are being taken.

I've never been able to figure out what God has against Russia, but He apparently has it 10 times as bad for Africa.


Ironical how even though you were just treated to an expose of superstition, your first reaction is to attempt to explain it with yours.

Have you read about what all happened in Rwanda? You can place some blame on Kagame and the RPF if you want to, but they where ultimately the ONLY thing that stopped the horrific genocide that was going on.

The RPF's stated de facto purpose in fighting in Rwanda was to protect the Tutsi minority, and it would appear as though that protection was needed. Kagame and the RPF may well have done a lot to antagonize the situation for their benefit, but at the end of the day, they weren't the blood thirsty demons raping and murdering nearly a million people, they were the ones fighting those demons.

Oh, and you can talk about Bush working with Kagame, but don't leave out that it was Clinton who was president when 800,000 were being killed in Rwanda and Clinton did NOTHING! I would take Bush senior arming and supporting Kagame over the genocide that happened any day. What human being wouldn't give their own life to go back in time and make that deal?

Utter Stupidity.
To think that porking a woman is going to protect your from a bullet or an 105 millimeter air burst howitzer shell.
I am going to go back to reading the god delusion.
The stupidity is, astounding.


Actually, a lot of times they are still using machetes to clean out villages the old fashioned way

Makes no sense...

But I tend mostly to look at this one http://paulhutch.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/demotivator1.jpg

deal with it and it doesn't bother me at all.

If half the angry fucks would realize how insignificant every thing is then we would be just fine.

I mentioned evolution at one of my classes, and the teacher said:
"What a binary Idea! Fit. UnFit. We should base our class on that today!" - Thus the nature of an ecosystem.

I think you've struck on the peace niks opposition to intervention. I can't do that anymore though. As Hitchens' is found of saying "I'm a prisoner of this information, I can't NOT know it".

Knowing the kind of horrific murderous rampages going on in the world leaves me unable to sleep at night unless I'm trying to do something to stop it. Even if it is as small as trying to make more people aware of just how brutal the genocide going on in the dark parts of the world is this very minute.

The problem lurking behind all of this is unjustified belief, lack of clear thinking, lack of philosophy. "If I hear my sister has been raped, I must rape someone else." Failure to understand individual responsibly for actions. Patriotism, tribalism, religion, all failures of thinking. I suppose you could call it a lack of education....but I have no idea what the practical solution is in Africa.
