43. Africa has never really been in the USA's sphere of influence

We are willing to buy stuff and sell stuff there, but as a rule our government has always "ignored" the bad things in frica.. I really think that most of the people in power, still have that "darkest Africa" mentality, and do not even consider Africa as having any civilized people there.. Of course the exception would be South Africa, but the US considers that place as Britain's problem..

The conservatives here are loathe to intervene in any case, because a "depopulated" Africa fits their world view better anyway.. The depopulation can occur via disease,war,famine.. whatever.. they do not seem to care how it happens..

When Africa is decimated , and all that remains is the resources, they will be more than happy to "help" (help themselves to the treasure, that is)..

:(
