Well, if it had been me: I'd have done it in manic happiness Wink

Can't have a slaughter without laughter...
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Of all the world's clusterfucks... Congo is particularly sad. No one is in the right.

The M23 is only trying to use the mining rights for the people of that country, the congolese amy (the ones who committed these rapes) are working for the Americans, the Chinese, and the British

Looking for good guys and bad guys in the Congo just doesn't work. It really doesn't work anywhere. War turns everyone into bad guys.

When any group resorts to mass rapes, forced recruitment, or attacks on civilians, they lose all claim to the moral high ground, IMO.
M23 doesn't want the mining rights for the good of the Congolese people, they want them to fund their own agenda. The West and China are backing the government because DRC has the richest, untapped natural resources on the planet, and they want access to those resources. It's the old story of, "Sure they're assholes, but they're OUR assholes." That has played out throughout history. Doesn't justify it or make it right, but here we are, backing dispicable people out of a larger group of equally dispicable people.

well you can say the same thing against america and it's war against the afghans, american troops have committed mass rapes, and murders of innocent civilians.. it just revolves around who you support, it seems the wars amongst the multiple territories in the congo is between the american and western governrments against the rwandan national government, so who do you support............. festive?

No doubt, war is a shit sandwich. Any claim to moral high ground is quickly lost after the hostilities begin. Has there been any conflict in history where there weren't atrocities committed by all sides involved? I doubt it. Even worse is when the chain of command turns a blind eye to it all, or even encourages it.
