Ah, TS, you still love me! Actually no, I was not comparing the actions of an army bent on genocide with the actions of the local police here in the US.

However, the problem here in the States is one we might be able to do something about. What is happening in South Africa is an outrage, but what can we do other than weep? The last I heard, they have no significant oil reserves, so I don't see the US calvary dashing off to the rescue of those people anytime soon, do you? Correct me if I'm wrong.

What's happening here in america is a complex issure that includes drug addiction, mental disorders, lazy people, politicians, and so on.

The problem in Africa is pretty simple. Cut them off until they behave. As long as they suck at the international teat they have no incentive to modernize or lay off killing hundreds of thousands of their neighbors. And so on...
