I agree. But, like those South Koreans in Afghanistan, it also shows how brave humans are. It is really amazing that there are always people who volunteer to put themselves in danger, to help those less fortunate than themselves, regardless of the circumstances.

These folks aren't commandos. They are nurses, doctors....regular civilians.

All I meant was, that if creating liberal democracies was the goal in Africa, the colonial governors should have put liberal democrats into the positions of power.
