Pick a country, any country in Africa and if our role was one of UW destablization we would have a field day. This continent has been screwed up from the very first day that borders were drawn and countries were named. Tribal mores, beliefs, anamosties and loyalties are the rule of the day and they are not constrained by the artificiality of political borders. If you think you have cultural challenges in dealing with the muslim world you can multiply that by many factors when you start to deal with "the dark continent". I don't even want to start thinking about the factions within this country who think that they have some roots and ties to Africa that are going to try to influence policy or feel that we have exploited the continent and its peoples for centuries.
