Libya. Once the jewel of Africa. Now in ruins. Bombed to smithereens. By Africom.
Libya was one of three African nations named to General Wesley Clark shortly after the mother of all inside Ziojobs 9/11. The other two were Sudan and Somalia.
Somalia. Home to the world's seventh largest oil reserves, which are currently untapped.
USA for Africa - We Are The World (w/M.Jackson)
There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall well well well well
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
