The Economist has a very good report on the Congo (via Gary Farber, who would like as many bloggers as possible to raise awareness of the situation). 2.5 million have died in the Congo over the last four years; the death toll makes Saddam look like a piker. If humanitarian motivations suffice to justify the war on Iraq, then the Congo ought to be next in line. If they don’t — we still ought to do something about this.

Kofi Annan has asked for help. There are reports of cannibalism. It’s ugly.

If a country asks for help in its situation, that's very very different from just going in and insisting that they need it.

France is going in though.

You know, those cowardly cheese eating surrender monkeys that have no compassion for their fellow man? Heh.

We're too intent on Iran, Congo has not strategic position, Oil, nor "terrorists" enough to captivate our attention. Sigh.
