Unspeakable things happen in those countries that the rest of the world doesn't talk about. There is a thriving slave trade in West Africa to this day, young children are sold into slavery by the thousands after theyre either sold by their parents or kidnapped from their villages. AIDS is out of control and will only get worse exponentially. Civil wars are happening in numerous countries, with the longest running civil war in history still raging for over 20 years in the Sudan and taking something like 2 million lives. Poverty, hunger, crime....
Really sad state of affairs.

You are correct. If people think Saddam is bad, some of the guys running the show in those counties in north africa make Saddam look like a Kindergarten teacher. Things like mass genocide, forcing 8 year old children to join the army, the list of atrocities goes on and on and on. Wonder when Bush is going to go remove their scourge from the world.
Oh wait sorry, they don't have oil! :P
