Life and death in Africa and Iraq

Four million dead in the past 10 years in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 1,000 dying every day. Hunger, disease, rape, murder. Why does anyone else complain? [1]

So what's the message? Should America take over in Iraq and fix everything before it tries for democracy? Should it install a strongman and deal with terrorism the best it can? Or should it just leave period? Allah Akbar. Nice try. God is great.
