No Blood for Congo
By Steven Martinovich

Nearly a thousand people were killed in a massacre earlier this month and
aid agencies estimate that millions of people have died in recent years,
many from treatable diseases and malnutrition. Those numbers may seem
familiar to you given that the same words are often used by people against
the American-led war against Iraq.
They, however, refer to another trouble spot. The Democratic Republic of
Congo has been torn apart by years of tribal warfare, rebellion and
incursions by the Ugandan military with little notice by the world.
It's hard to see why. The 3.3 million dead (over the last 4.5 years,
according to the International Rescue Committee) represent more lives lost
in a war in any since the Second World War, more than the total killed in
the various Balkans conflicts and easily surpasses anything that could have
happened in the war in Iraq. Even for troubled Africa, the death toll in
Congo represents a new mark for destroyed lives.
"This is a humanitarian catastrophe of horrid and shocking proportions,"
George Rapp, president of International Rescue Committee
