  • 5 million dead...largely the fault of U.S.

    They kill a true leader and install some retarded ape in his place...wearing a gold watch while his people die in poverty...

    Every time I hear someone say that USA is the greatest country in the world I feel like punching that person is the face...

  • Every powerful and intelligent black leader gets assassinated whenever they try to simply empower their own people.

  • the worst enduring crime in history

  • coltan mineral of death

  • @TukenNuken Regretfully Obama said just that (we are the greatest nation) when he intervened in Libya.

  • I would take a different tack and just pull out entirely and not give aid to either side. It is time to stop meddling in the affairs of Africa other parts of the world and concentrate on getting our troops home from overseas and other things.

  • @TukenNuken May we find a way to use your violent energy to make compassionate empowerment a reward in ans of itself...to show profiteering the cruel slave making that it is...and have all actors of state accountable the American people with consequences to bear in the event of illegal actions. All easier said than done...Just having the talent to find fun ways to offer truth and information to others is a heroic act for democracy.

  • Full name Mobutu Sese Seko Nkuku Ngbendu wa Za Banga One Badass Mofo.

  • This maybe a news for most USA /European people but we African know that the west had been the devil of our nations.
