hypothetical scenario. RAR!

Post by Enforcer Talen »

its 2010, and iraq is ok, war on terror is on the back burner.

you are chief executive of the eu/usa hegemon, and your voters are demanding something be done about africa. the situation there remains the same, 52 countries, civil war, genocide, famine, AIDs.

so, what do you do?

Ask them if they're willing to accept tens of thousands of bodybags and decades of occupation in order to clean up that sordid mess.

Nukey nukey? :P

(c'mon, someone had to say it)

Anyways, there is not much we can do until the locals stop killing each other. We could give them money and material aid, of course, but we're doing that right now, and it's not doing a lot of good.

Have a very nice day.

How many people will die form AIDS in the next five years?
If they are many, it could be simpler, but there could be very few things to save.
