The US is continually involved in many ways with every country on Earth. 
I wouldn't necessarily say that we should send troops to Congo, but it 
would be nice if we had a way to push them in the right direction.  Maybe 
we could find a way to prevent so many guns and so much ammo from getting 
to the criminal gangs that are destroying that country.  Just an idea.

Regarding your recommendation that we exterminate the African people -- 
you really shouldn't be writing things like that, even if you believe 
them.  Do you really want to be branded as an advocate for genocide? 
Sounds like a bad idea to me.  In case it isn't obvious:  I disagree with 
your ideas about the African people, but your ideas are so vile that it 
should be obvious where I stand (along with almost anyone else who reads 
your message).
