re: Actually sorry that Africa remains under our collective radar, Tom . . .

And so it has remained since the last Tarzan flick.

At the moment, the sovereignty of the united states is not imperiled by the little Idi Amins of the world, but they should realize they will eventually be placed on notice. We owe a lot to the UK, and if they decide, for the sake of the Euro-region, to go into the highlands of the old Belgium Congo, will we be asked to assist? Africa in general has a lot of bad feelings toward European rule, so I don’t see this very near to the horizon either -- but who can really say?

And hunting down an enemy that would just as soon hunt and eat you is never particularly inviting, but then what enemy ever is? If called upon, we can only do our damned-level best.

At the moment, it's an in-house issue,
