Look Tom you aren't the only ones who have
assets running around sub saharan Africa. If the Ruwandians want to fight among themselves let them but there are wider issues here after all not many peoples are into tribal massacres but it is prevalent among Muslims
It is a good question Tom you did such a good job in Iraq why don't you do something? It is not like you to miss an opportunity to put a despot in power. Is it because you don't have some disgruntled african expat whispering in your ear about WMD? Perhaps if Kono fired a missile in the direction of Israel? After all people in that part of the world have fond memories of the day israel did something. No Tom you ignore africa because it doesn't represent a threat in any form. If you are so worried about China you should be in there countering their influence instead of harassing the pakistani's and afghans and what happened to the Iranians, suddenly they are off the agenda, no WMD there?
You stand idly by and watch Syria tear itself apart as you stood idly by and watched Saddam deal with the shiites. I have no doubt you think it worthwhile that the reduction of the Syrian threat to Isreal is a useful objective after all it is hard to fight an external war when you are looking over your shoulder
