don't worry tsar, there are some of us that know the US spends 3 times on emergancy aid(food and medical) internationally as we do domestically. most of it lands on the african continent. i am sure it would make the news if more of them were trying to attack us and the rest fo the world

The Rwandan Genocide was the slaughter of an estimated 800,000 to 1,000,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, mostly carried out by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, during a period of 100 days

so around one million people isnt enough to get your attention? ohh by the way the aid that you send over there lands in the hands of militia and hardly any of it goes to the people its intended for.

The Darfur conflict is an ongoing conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited from local Arab tribes, and the non-Arab peoples of the region. Estimates of deaths in the conflict have ranged from 50,000 (World Health Organization, September 2004) to 450,000 (Dr. Eric Reeves, 28 April 2006).
