negritos Multiply by 10 million, leaving us five million Negroes who are less than half a million who have died in recent years Congo with virtually none of us have said "this is my mouth" (to cry out against the war, and all those quaint things done only when there is a non-socialist government to fall back, or a United States of America which vilify.) We said we are about 5,500,000 the blacks who have left, plus the 45,000 that are added each month, without which moves us the soul, well, maybe a little, just enough so that we get a slight touch on the soul and continue to believe that we are good people. In reality, which moves us is to see on the news dismembered bodies or victims of specific disasters, but a trickle of deaths from disease and lack of health care "plin me." However, what can we do?, Why not send them is a matter of food or some money, even medicine (although all of this help), but the only thing that can save their lives, what they really need there are soldiers , our soldiers, ready to kill and die, and that clashes with the mentality coward and pacifist who spent years digging a shoe with the high political and not political. The problem is that, often, peace can only be defended by force, and that is not subject to theories and utopian, but it is an irrefutable fact and, I fear, inevitable.
Consciences (false) of many governments would calm mobsters giving poor countries the famous 0.7% to spend it on weapons and palaces. However, nobody wants to provide 0.7% of our ONGércitos. The UN has in the Congo's largest military mission in its history: 17,000 UN peacekeepers (mostly Indians and Pakistanis, that Europe does not like dirty hands of blood), but not enough, and has asked the EU to a temporary force of 3,000 soldiers. The response was immediate: " demand will be considered with prudence and respect (?)" And "strongly condemn unacceptable violations of human rights," which, translated into English understandable, means that "the blacks brought us loose." If doubts remain, Spain, Germany and Portugal have steadfastly refused to participate in the hypothetical mission.
While reading this, two black boys have died of malaria or typhoid without us nor our leaders have done what is to do. The truth is that, having to go in a little while to Hipercor to face the great problem of Christmas shopping, who cares about the dead of Congo?
