It's funny how America props up Israel , openly breaking UN resolutions yet here we have mass killings in the Congo and everyone whistles and turns the other wayQuote:

The US and others don't give a flying f### about that region. It has nothing to offer the west and they have no competition.
The sale of arms from the US and the UK is massive for each economy.
If world peace broke out tomorrow, there would be many unhappy arms manufacturers
Sludge, it’s Africa, would you really expect the evil bastards at the BBC to report this? It only matters when there’s money to be made from Red Nose Day or Children In Need for their own benefit.Quote:

As a Gemini myself, I am appalled at being targeted just because of my astrological star sign. I am on the cusp with Cancer too, so I am particularly pissed offQuote:

No money or oil to be gleaned so the Billionaire owned british media don`t give a flying.
It's all our fault? How about the one's actually raping children, you know, the Congolese.
Spare us the guilt trip Sludge.
Why should we feel guilty for leading (fairly) normal lives in the West?
We Brits get blamed for the places we colonised civilised and educated when things happen years later. So why isn't the world up in Arms demanding that Belgium sorts this mess out that they must have caused .
All africans would be good quiet nice people if it hadn't been for the nasty europeans educating them.
Educated and civilised?.Quote:

Brits my ass, you have an inferiority complex to call yourself Welsh. You haven't a chip on your shoulder, its a bag of potatoes.

Britain did better than most in my view but was by no means perfect.
The problem is imposing nation state boundaries on top of tribal boundaries which always re - emerge to
cause bloodshed.
The Balkans which caused World War One was still a problem 90 years later.
Not to mention the Middle-eastQuote:

And yet this post sounds like the biggest chip on a shoulder rant in the whole thread.Quote:
