Then all of a sudden, "What?!? Several hundred died in Libya!?! That's it! Mobilize NATO, and get a US carrier group deployed to the region asap. We're going in boys!".
Africa is a compete wasteland with decades of civil war, strife, starvation, AIDs, governments that barely function... Yet suddenly we are focused on one African country.

Why fucking bother? We can beat Gadhafi into submission a thousand times over. Still not going to solve any problems in Africa.
