de Villepin suggested the formation of a national government encompassing elements from the rebellion and from the regular government, and the whole population rejected it violently, accusing France of favoring the other side.
That sounds about right
.
I fear for that continent. It is so rich, but there is so much fighting, especially on tribal bounds, many of which are in more than one state.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Not to detract from the labors of the Puerto Rican people but that island's success is in no small measure a result of the benefits from being highly integrated with the US. If PR was truly independent, that would change. That's why the Puerto Ricans vote to keep the status quo vis a vis the US.

Ted Striker, I thought that these evil dirty commie hypocrit 'Eurocoms' do NOT include United Kingdom, the one which pillaged the most from Africa...
What about US actions in South America during 1960-1990?
Here is the deal.
UK is not CURRENTLY part of Old Europe.
But they still have a huge mess to clean up from the past. They were once Eurocoms but cleaned up their act and are now good.
Iran/Iraq was originally a UK mess.
But USA got involved. Now it is our mess to clean up. That's why we are cleaning it up now. Same thing with Israel. It was originally a UK created mess. But USA has been so involved that it is also our mess now. (Although Brits are in for the #1 assist in those situations).
HOWEVER, Africa is almost EXCLUSIVLEY a Eurocom mess to clean up. USA shouldn't have to clean up the mess there, it's not our responsibility.
Don't worry Viking Eurocom Tuomerehu your and your people don't have any obligation there either. But all the ones on that map I showed are.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

I mention this only because Angola, Zaire and Mozambique could potentially have been three of the richest countries in Africa, given their reserves of minerals, precious metals, gems, oil and gas. Instead, thanks in large part to American help, they are some of the poorest countries in the world.
Your analysis of why Africa is in the state it's in, is so shallow, I almost split my sides laughing. No reference to desertification, no reference to the amount of arable land available, no reference to interference from the superpowers during the Cold War, no reference to endemic disease, no reference to tribalism, no reference to global economics, and domination by extra-African firms, just point to an antique map and say it's all your fault Europe, they were your colonies.Vive la liberte.

You're right Spiffor. I think his reasons are still bogus and actually symptoms, not causes, however it's more fun just to get a rise.
I have to say though that Spiffor you've been one of the most polite posters ever on Apolyton. (seriously)I wish we could all be so gracious and polite.
