But because this situation is fully entangled in international diplomatic bureaucracy and constrained by the very instable power structures that exist in the region, that simple task is never simple. Without utilizing these traditional channels of bureaucrats, the U.S. could possibly violate the sovereignty claim of the Congolese government. However, as the stakes are demarcated in human lives, the cost of an international scandal should not stand in the way of any humanitarian aid that is deemed necessary for the subsistence of the Congolese refugees...

...especially excited about Obama’s promise to give every American family a $4,000 tax credit to pay for the costs of tuition in exchange for a commitment to public service. Expanding the promise of an affordable and accessible college education is no easy task; it is doubly difficult during a steep recession.
