When I said it could one day be us, it was not a Christian thing at all it was a humanitarian thing.
Just because another group of nations has not come forward does not mean we should sit on the
sideline.. Yes they are for the most part Muslim, however sometimes a leading role can be taken
by doing something rather than talking about it.
If the roles were reversed they likely wouldn't help as a government you are right but it does not
mean we should let women and kids starve to death because of something somebody else might
or might not do.
We have money for damn near everything but not to help the poorest of the poor obtain something
to eat. At the same time the nations of the west ask how come so much of the world hates us.
For the most part the west has been there to help, so the criticism is not warranted. that does not
mean we should tolerate starvation.

LOL. Considering the lack of government over there what is stopping you from going there and laying down the law, handing out punisments, doling out food etc, and don't blame politics. That's just being lazy. I mean you could at least adopt a few of the miserable looking children, it's not like it's their fault their parents don't have access to the 15 million types of birth control out there. I mean pulease.
Leading???hahaha, what's your definition of leading???
A puppet who was picked by the US and a few jets, hardly leading!!

There is no connection between the drought and starving refugees and the Muslim pirates except that the pirates have overthrown the government in that region. The pirates are from a different part of Somalia and are not under the rule of the International temporary government overseen by the UN.
Government spokesman Omar Osman accused the hard-line Islamic insurgent group, al-Shabab, of thwarting humanitarian relief efforts.
“The situation is very grave [and] for us, our action is very limited due to the extreme nature of the drought,” said Omar. “We have seen an influx of refugees or internally displaced people fleeing from regions controlled by al-Shabab moving to government controlled areas.”
Described by Washington as a terrorist group with links to al-Qaida, al-Shabab militants control much of southern and central Somalia, while the government controls only parts of the capital, Mogadishu. It seems to me, al-Shabab like other militant Muslim groups has the intent to "Kill all Unbelievers"
Advocating the bombing of a drought ridden area filled with starving people is usually the solution of religious fanatics......a form of "kill all the unbelievers". I guess Canada isn't as moderate or civilized as I thought.
Ghaddafi is an arrogant mad-man. His people came out in peaceful demonstrations to demand the right to self rule and a few human rights. His army of 50,000 fired on the unarmed civilians. Before setting him up as a leader to look up to - read up a bit on him. He and his family make Oprah, The Queen of England, Bill Gates, together, look like paupers. He has money stashed in banks all over the world.......in excess of 128 billion. That money, most of it actually belongs to the Lybian people and should be used for them.
I don't get it.
You honestly don't care about people suffering from starvation.
Amazing.
Canada’s Lt. General Charles Bouchard to command NATO operations in Libya | VANCOUVERITE
...and it's even from a Western source....
Is not the commander of the Libyan Campaign a Canadian General? Heck... we're not even commanding NATO. The Secretary General of NATO is a Dane and the Top Military Chairman is an Italian Admiral.
So these small size fishermen overfished the Indian Ocean turned to being pirates and caused a drought after they stole arms off of yachts?
This is better than TV.
If our charities were so good at feeding their "starving women and children" there wouldn't be any pirates to begin with.
Piracy for them is a way of life, the only way for them to make enough for the survival of them and their families.
If they would spend a lot less time fkn and more time managing their country and building irrigation canals, we would not have to feed them and they would not have to become pirates.
The men used to fish all day. But some assholes with giant trollers fished out the Indian Ocean. It all started with attacking the giant foreign trollers then lead to get whatever they could to get food.
Reality version sucks doesn't it?
Is it right? No.
If all the cattle and ruminants here died off and drought fried the grain crops what would you do to eat?
Pine needle soup?
If your a strong country, you defend your off shore rights.
Can't do that if your fkn all the time and can't manage sh^t!!
Yeah, reality sucks alright, for them!!
Strong like Canada who sent warships after the Portugeuse? If those Newfies weren't too busy ****ing they could have saved their cod and rammed three or four hundred little dories into the hulls of the massive Portuguese drag netters gettting crashed one by one?
