It is truly unfortunate to watch as the thousands of innocent people are slaughtered in Africa. It is a shame that the world has not stepped in and done something in these third world nations. We have arms dealers behind the scenes arming Governments with questionable regimes and even the guerillas on the other side.

We know that much of the world runs on guns, drugs, gems, oil and people (sex trade) as a currency. And we must also understand that people, humans will always be at war with something. That is to say even if they use spears, guns, WMD, tanks, planes or whatever. Until they learn to do otherwise and channel those innate characteristics into more productive things and use the other innate characteristics in the right proportions, well until then they will attempt to kill each other and wage war.

Sometimes I think we ought to build water filtration and pipelines that can withstand a 500 lb. bomb direct hit and sewer treatment plants that can take the same. Have the World Bank Fund it. Then host contests of skill and sport to channel this energy. Soccer fields ten abreast. That is what I am going to propose among other things and suggest that we put them in every village. We must allow these cultures their due. If we do not set things up in the future the droughts will exacerbate water supplies and everyone dies.

If we are going to bring the third world into the first world, then we must help these emerging nations bring them selves under control. We owe it to the human race to see that we help those nations who are serious about helping them selves. Consider this in 2006.
