Meanwhile, back in Hazzard County, Daisy was being brutally raped...

Well, not in Hazzard. More like the Congo.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] imlac for pointing this out:

While the world is paying attention to Iraq...
Amnesty reports 40,000 rapes in Congo.

And here's an explanation why we (the U.S. Governement) did not condemn the mass gassing of the kurds when it happened.

At this rate, I suppose we'll deal with the Congo when they are no longer embroiled in hideous turmoil.

Did you ever see that movie? It's about all the mess over there in Africa.

But you know, if the government did go try to do something about the troubles in Africa they'd get blasted because it'd be getting us involved in another war that wasn't our fight to begin with and blah blah blah, especially since they haven't attacked us yet. When it comes to going to war the government can't win for losing in the eyes of it's people

Ah, but it wasn't my point that we should go to war with Congo unilaterally. ;-)
