[Buttonman]

They want to reissue the Band Aid record (again) and use the cash to topple the governments of these countries that can't afford to feed their people, but can afford jets and munitions to knock the shit out of each other.

Yer see, empires are actually a good thing, bring law and order eh :)

for more info... see life of brian speech, 'what have the romans ever done for us'

[Max Kon]

But they aren't working against eachother as buttonman said. Ethiopian troops are supporting the Somalian democratic government and army.

And it's not exactly news, it's been months since the first reports of ethiopian army moving aiding against the UIC

[Buttonman]

If only they had oil and then the Americans would sort out the trouble, stick in their own leaders and make everything all right. It's worked well in... er..

[Max Kon]

they tried in the early 90s, but Clinton pulled them out after Black Hawk Down, which Al-Quida is now known to have been heavily involved with, but that was before Osama became well known. The UIC had links to Al-Q, probably still does.

And the CIA world fact book says that there are likely oil reserves.

[Buttonman]

Probably in George's 'to do' lists.

Best we leave africa to sort out it's own mess I say, like the arabs, none of our business.

Get out, stay out.
