Help Wanted: "Coalition of the Willing"

Patrick Smith writing for The Guardian would like to know if the UN have the will to stop the killing in Congo?

Simon Tisdall warns;

For those who remember Rwanda, Bosnia, and Somalia in the 1990s, the unfolding situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo looks like an unpleasant case of deja vu all over again.

I would think that reports such as these and this one describing the mutiliation of 280 people would electrify a response from the same 'humanitarians' that couldn't wait even a month to invade Iraq and depose its evil president.

But after all there are more important issues at hand. Like lifting the sanctions on Iraq which they've managed to do and Ian Williams covers in depth.
