You make it sound so easy for the US to go in and invest billions in another country... just because Monkey Bush did it with the hardy-har-har GWOT, doesn't mean it's now a new standard in foreign policy and national responsibility to Teh Wurld. Do we really need an international Chia pet to care for? Turns out our own garden is suckin' pretty bad right now. Stay in our own yard for a bit, maybe?
If we were to "help" Africa... I envision it would involve just as many body bags as Iraq.
