i agree to a large extent
the same goes for many situations. exceptions being with genocide,
problem is the powers that be are usually armed to the teeth, and the intelligent masses are unarmed
for example when genocide is taking place, thats when the world sits back, like Rwanda, yet falling over themselves to get involved in Iraq
Africa is a unique situation in many ways like access, size and other countries surrounding etc though that are not necessarily co-operative
the U.N is a great idea in principle but it needs a hefty backbone and teeth and full respect and co-operation from members
don't ignore the U.N and manipulate at will. U.K and U.S prime examples
