Poll for the day question.....Violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo

I don't believe this can be happening in the 21st century. I don't understand why world leaders aren't putting pressure on the government.

It's just terrible !!!

I feel that the world isn't doing enough. I also feel that the people over in DRC can stop the fighting if they want to bad enough. Also let's keep in mind who is fighting who, some of these countries boundaries were re-drawn after colonization so that they harbor ethnic groups that have been fighting for in some cases centuries.

Carol! Though I know that it is a terrrible thing and the the lose of one life or the starvation of one soul is to much, but no one but the Good Lord can say how much is enough. However the most horrendous thing about it is, when the hords stray from the path of righteousness, the innocent must pay.

It's sad and it is horrible.

No, I don't think the world is doing enough. Instead the US is in Iraq. I think if we are going to be concerned with affairs, it should be atrocities like the one you just mentioned.

It makes me sick to my stomach. But why don't we stop all the killing? Because we don't want to believe it's real. If we did, we would never again be able to sit down and relax with a glass of wine...or a laptop and Gather.
I don't think I can bring myself to watch this tomorrow:

What more do you want done? Honestly, many of you think our involvement in Iraq was totally wrong even though such things were happening daily there. What is the standard of wrong before outside interference? Who should authorize that and to what degree? Just who in this world has the armed forces competent enough to do anything about it?

The answers must be made by those who see such a mess and want something done. They are hard questions which unfortunately do not have easy answers. The last one concerns me because I do know the answer and it falls back onto 2 nations; the US and UK. The majority of Europeans otherwise are at best supporting players with loud voices, few who will commit their people to even defend themselves. Much of the rest of the world is incompetent militarily.

Yeah, much of the world is a mess but watch what we wish for, those who get impressed into doing something might be us and I doubt anyone's gratitude will be either lasting or forceful

MERRY CHRISTMAS, CAROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas

Oh my, I think even if USA send some money there, it will be spent for more guns.

yikes

This is a dangerous world we live in. Not only is war terrible, but we have disease, rape, slavery, brutality. This is terrible.
