That is so wrong it's laughable.

Africa has needed help for over 20 years and nothing.


The US and Europe only help when they can gain from it.

Coffey if it weren't for aid from the US and Europe, Africa would be in much worse shape than they currently are.  Starvation will never end there due to their refusal to limit their birth rates.  Corruption is rife and human life has almost no value to their leaders.  The whole continent seems to be culturally cursed and has been for as long as I can remember.  Clinton and Bush both spent billions on AIDS medicines and relief.  We actually had soldiers ( one of whom I went to school with) die in Somalia while we were attempting to feed the starving.  Africa is a blood and resource sponge and will never be sorted until the leaders and people have a real desire to make it work.  That is not a lack of empathy it's just the reality of the situation.

They don't take military action, yet do in other countries.

Also I explained the Aids medication etc before.

So let me understand... you think it would be a good idea for the US/Britain to use military force in Africa to change things there to help the people?

No I do not, but I also did not think it was right for them to use military force in Iraq or Afghanistan either. But we are talking about "IF" they where doing this to help.

I also don't think it's right for military force any any circumstances unless it's in defense or aid of defense. Being the attacking force is wrong in every situation. (including Israel's constant bs)
