Opening a door for the U.S. to enter yet one more country as Policemen -- in this case to "bring to justice" a foreign warlord -- is suspect to me. I always look to the resources side of the issue; what do we, as a country, or we, as a political arm of a larger, emerging Global Economy have to gain by our presence there?
Here's a quick snapshot from a profile of Uganda:
If we control the water, we control the oil. But ultimately, it ain't about the oil; isn't that strange?
Besides having an abundance of precious minerals, there's a lot for us to gain by being at the source of water for that region. Look at what's happening in Tibet. All the focus on publicity about the Dalai Lama and the Chinese suppression of the Tibetans is laid over what is really happening; that region is the source of water for Asia, including THE most populated areas of the world; China and India.
If I put my Conspiracy Hat on, I could see how effective such a viral program could be to mobilize the masses enough to help us justify establishing a presence in an unstable country with pivotal resources.
I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but this is helping me understand how this Viral stuff could easily be manipulated to draw public support for something -- by getting a lot of uninformed people on the bandwagon -- that benefits a select few.
The deeper I look into this, the more I see that the world crisis that Governments are preparing for is all about water.
