So bullshit, as in it sucks, not bullshit, as in it isn't happening? I prefer the former. I thought you were saying the latter and I was about to ram a bunch of statistics up your ass.
Of course they do not. I am completely aware of the situation. In many places, it is utter anarchy -- refugees mixing with militia, governments disguising their militia as angry tribes and nothing more, governments providing the weapons for genocide, deadly exorcisms performed on children, etc. Most of Africa is a melting pot of fleeing citizens and "bad guys." When the shit hits the fan, they all run and wind up in a different place, but with the same people and the same issues all over again.

Why? I don't think it is a solution at all, but I don't see how it is any different than suggesting they blow people's heads off with automatic rifles. Violence is violence and it begets violence.

No shit they do, Rhythm. We're talking about women, not men.
