The Problem in Africa is, that the nations there are not "naturally" grown. They were forced together by the western nation, they formed colonies that won't fit together. Second the population were kept dumb (no education) so they had trouble to form a goverment, and today they are trapped in all the violence.
A good article about the Congo:

BTW: there wouldn't be marches againt an involvment if the arguments for the involvment were good. But bush would surely use the argument "they have WMDs" again to bomb the crap out of those nation and then have no plan to rebuild them (see afghanistan). Plus he will only "liberate" those nations that has something of value for him.
But sadly due to the current situation they have to sell their resources at low prieces so there is no need for the western nation to "liberate" those nations.

Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
