Not *as* poor and ignorant, *more so*, far more, for then they would
look successful in comparison. They wont stop hating us for dropping
food on them either. That may stem the tide of mass starvation, but we
can be sure the militant muslims will be all the more eager to slash our
throats at the very first opportunity.

Another take on this: the African continent is watching all this
play out. They must be asking themselves: do we want to be like the
faithful wretches starving and cowering in caves? Or do we want to
be like the great satan up there in jets blasting away in complete safety
at their leisure? We'll take... satan for 500 please Alex.

The African masses will surely be drawn westward, which will
enrage the militant muslims ever more. If there is a way to resolve
this without appalling bloodshed, I sure havent thought of it. spike
