Not to beat a dead horse, but I just realized the link to the article about the DRC only provides a synopsis of the article (Congo's Tragedy: The war the world forgot, by Johann Hari). The entire article is available here, and I would really encourage everybody to take a few minutes to read it. I know there's a lot of wars going on, and new ones brewing, but at the very least we will all be better served by being aware. That's just my humble opinion.
