The Vital Africa
Helping Africa is not just about do-goodery. Helping Africa is also about American national security. It is vital that America ensures that stability exists on the African continent. For additional thoughts on this, check out this post, Why All of Africa Is In America's Interest. Then consider whether it is important for American citizens to call on our leaders to take an even more active and resourceful look at America's Africa policy. Roman scholar Pliny the Elder had it right when he said, "There is always something new out of Africa." My we ensure that that something new is freedom, peace, and hope.

Hmm...while you are most likely correct, I think with all the current issues with the problems in the Middle East, the only part of Africa (unfortunately) that is on any American radar is Egypt, or perhaps a few other countries in the northern part. They don't call it the dark continent for no reason. But, if you can link the issue to American national security, you can perhaps bring it to the attention of Americans. (I think it's interesting how that works)
