UN Allows 45,000 Deaths Per Month in Congo

RUSH: From the Associated Press: "Some 45,000 people die every month in Congo as the world's deadliest humanitarian crisis has failed to improve despite five years of relative peace. An estimated 5.4 million Congolese died between '98 and 2007 because of conflict, most from the rampant disease and food shortages stemming from fighting. The study found that life is still alarmingly precarious for Congolese despite the end of the war in 2002. When war ended in Congo, there was same level of dysfunction without the violence." Now, who's running the Congo? Who's there to make sure this doesn't happen? It's the United Nations, folks, in little blue hats, the peacekeepers and so forth. The UN! They're not doing their job. Maybe they are doing their job. Who knows what their intentions are? Well, the United Nations could be one of the most racist and anti-Semitic organizations on the planet as well. But whatever they're doing or not doing, it is taking years to get Congo in shape after the fighting stopped. Now, isn't it amazing you don't read about this stuff in Iraq -- and who's taking care of things in Iraq? It's the United States of America, particularly the United States military. Forty-five thousand people a month are dying in Congo, and the UN is there to ensure that it doesn't happen.
