I wrote a paper on this last week, for government & politics.
I was wondering what others think about that statement.
What do you think?
Discuss.

Why do you say that?
Wasn't AFRICOM created to veer away from the title of USA as "selective engagers" in Africa?

I wouldn't argue that we have been as unilateral there (in the military sense, since we obviously have a fair amount of aid going there, or I could be wrong) as the Middle East or South America. And although I know AFRICOM will be established there is no way way it will be as active as CENTCOM.
