Your Move, Genocide

I guess the Hollywood elite can find new T-shirts to wear.

Now that South Sudan has voted 99% in favor of separating from the rest of Sudan, the assumption seems to be that all that ethnic clashing is a thing of the past.

Sure. Because in Africa more government means more stability, right? Right.

I can see why the southerners in the country would want to do this, after all, that part of the country has all the oil while the north has all the what exactly? Poverty? Machete factories? God only knows.

We do know one thing though and that's what happens when an oil rich little state is right next to a hell hole looking for a boost. Iraq invaded Kuwait for that sweet black oil and Iraq already had tons of their own oil. This was in the face of the American army and the fact that they just got brutalized for a decade by Iran. Sooner or later, North Sudan is going to realize that they are the ugly chick in a group that includes Ethiopia for gods sake and when they do, it's gonna get ugly.

When you think about it, splitting things in two doesn't really solve problems. Some Americans tried it and we got the Civil War. Ireland? No peace. Korea? Nope. John and Kate? Nope. That divorce just turned one collective, bitchy douche bag into two insufferable cancers. Maybe we should just focus on solving one problem before we turn it into two.

As if we needed any more proof that the West's philanthropic efforts in Africa go largely unrewarded, Sudan rounded up a bunch of women protesting the government.

Arresting protesters and limiting free speech is bad enough but the fact that they were protesting the very public flogging of a woman being punished for wearing pants is far worse.
Gotta love that sharia law. Feel free to read up here then take a rape shower.

How long do we continue this charade regarding Africa? Rather than actually try and correct the political, social and economic problems they have over there, we just keep dropping off bags of food and mosquito nets.

Thank god everybody is well fed and malaria free. Can you imagine how hard it is to rape and ethnic cleanse without three solid a day? Rough sledding.

We need to stop this middle of the road nonsense and go to one of the extremes. Option one would be to just do nothing and let this mix of poverty, ignorance and intolerance destroy itself. That may sound extreme but it would be extremely effective and cheap. The second path would be to organize a massive, UN approved, world wide participated military campaign to go in, clean out (kill) all of the people who think wearing pants is a floggable offense for women. Or anyone who thinks public flogging is a good idea. We should do a similar thing here, incidentally. Whenever they do a Turn in Your Guns for Raider Tickets event, they should just arrest everyone who shows up.

Whatever way we pick would be sufficient. All the world is doing now by dropping off food and medicine but no security is making sure that the rapists and death squads have an extra spring in their step. No need to continue down that path.
