Congo's Tin Soldiers (Part 1)

In 2005, Global Witness' devasting report entitled 'Under-mining Peace' (http://www.globalwitness.org/media_library_detail.php/138/en/under_mining_peace­_tin_the_explosive_trade_in_cass)
documented the exploitation of Congo's miners of cassiterite, an iron ore used in electronic circuit boards.

Channel 4 News' Jonathan Miller & filmmaker Elizabeth Jones were the first foreigners to visit these mines, whose ore has been at the heart of Congo's many years of armed conflict. (Report text found at http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/world/congos%20tin%20soldiers/108670

I do believe God is.

Honestly, I dont know why all the pain, so I cant give you an answer. Ask Him. But remember: who argues dont hear the answer. So if you have grown to the state, ask Him: "Please, if You are, let me know." If you mean it, then He will get you know Him and maybe give you the answer.

And they say there's a GOD. What a joke! Only the man mad "GOD" would allow this to happen.
