corbin,
Kenya will be a poweder keg for a long time now and no one will do anything about it. Our, the US's, hands are tied now in deals like this. Radicals will once again take a fine country down the wrong road and no one will step in. You know the UN won't stop any wrongdoing; they encourage it. I look forward to your post.

Sarooster...... Barak Hussein has some interesting connections
to the Kenya situation.....one I plan on writing about later today.......
Kenya is not only a story of bloody violence between tribes - Kikuyu and Luo......but one between religions - Christianity and Islam - unraveling Kenya right now. Here's some current background.
Kenya's first truly free and fair democratic election was in December 2002, won by Mwai Kibaki and a multi-ethnic coalition party NARC (National Rainbow Coalition). One of the leaders of that coalition was Raila Odinga.
Kibaki didn't give him positions in the new government that he felt were important enough, so Odinga formed an opposition party, ODM (Orange Democratic Movement, orange the symbol color of opposition).
When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire. Odinga is preparing to form a coalition with the Muslim radicals.....
BTW the people in the church were Christians..........

Offy,
Happy New Year! You don't ever have to ask Carter to do anything. He usually sticks his nose into things and fouls them all up; i.e. being President of the United States!!

Davy,
I think Ron Paul is a good man to start off with. Unfortunately, they are not much in demand anymore. He might give some of the better known guys a run for their money.

Bhutto, Kenya, Iowa
Sarooster: It's possible that Musharaff was responsible for Bhutto's assassination. Could be someone in his intelligence service. The Kenyan elections are a disaster. Ron Paul is a good candidate and might surprise some people in Iowa or New Hampshire. Welcome back!
