That's kinda the way I'm seeing it - Iraq aside, it seems that no one - US, Europe, whoever - has much interest in actually saving lives and sorting out a terrible situation unless there is a strategic or economic value. There have been countless wars in Africa and millions dead directly from war - and from the side effects of war like famine and disease - but while we are happy to intervene in other areas, we wash our hands of Africa where some of the greatest suffering in the world occurs.
