Yeah, and then I read in my Amnesty International magazine about widespread rape and killing of civilians by soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There is little justice there, and one fifty year old woman who is a rape victim has been persistantly accusing those in power. Miraculously, she has not been killed yet.

And I guess I understand that we (the USA) usually rely on dipolmacy first, and military force when we percieve there is no other option (or our business interests are threatened). I know too that there is a lot of diplomacy that goes on that doesn’t make the news. But it still frustrates me.
