See this <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7660592.stm">BBC report </a>including quotes from Alan Doss, Rod's boss.<br /><br />I wonder if I'd even notice if I didn't know someone involved. I was barely aware of "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Congo_War">Africa's World War</a>" when it was going on there. (Did it ever really stop?)<br /><br />That ignorance is quite an indictment of me.Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11805953367604412662noreply@blogger.com0
