My son showed me how to put quotes into boxes, there'll be no stopping me now!

Seriously though, I think that outsiders have to acknowledge a share of the blame, historically, but raking over old injustices is rarely of real value. You seem to be saying that much of what troubles Africa is internal, I agree, which is why I believe that addressing these problems is a complex matter, but is essential. It is easy for well intentioned people, in the heat of discussion, to be carried away by the exuberance of their own verbosity, and to lose sight of the real issues.

This has to be sarcasm!

There never was nothing.
