Evil in the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)

Can you imagine 200 White women being gang raped over a matter of 4 days by armed men anywhere in the world and it not being the lead story in the mainstream media for weeks or months after?

Two-hundred women in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been raped and in many cases gang raped by rebel soldiers during a four day period beginning July 30. And to make this even worse, the rapes occurred within a few miles of a United Nations peace keepers base.

I haven't heard anything about this atrocity in the MSM. That's not to say they haven't covered it. But it certainly hasn't garnered lead story status or anything near that.

This is not the first case of rapes or mass rapes in Congo. This has been going on for some time.

My heart hurts for the women of Congo.

Shock and Awe 2010

Seven years, over 100,000 lives lost and one trillion dollars later one question has yet to be answered regarding the American war in Iraq.

Who won?

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have just given Saddam Hussein 10 or 20 billion dollars to leave Iraq?

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. While not an "obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, it is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla, and in the United States.
