Tom Brokaw breaks the silence

On October 14,2008, during the 2008 US Presidential debate, Tom Brokaw asked the candidates: "Sen. Obama, let me ask you if -- let's see if we can establish tonight the Obama doctrine and the McCain doctrine for the use of United States combat forces in situations where there's a humanitarian crisis, but it does not affect our national security.

Take the Congo, where 4.5 million people have died since 1998, or take Rwanda in the earlier dreadful days, or Somalia.

What is the Obama doctrine for use of force that the United States would send when we don't have national security issues at stake?"

Brokaw explains on The Diane Rehm Show how he formulated that question.

I'm surprised how people have ignored the Congo !!! Look, just a simple example: this video has been posted since November 2nd 2008, and yet no CONGOLESE (whom by the way are the most connected on Youtube when it comes to music and other shows...), no Congolese commented on this video. What a shame a people who ignores its own fate and matters? What a madness?
