Michelle Malkin’s new column:

In July 2002, Congolese military official Jean Pierre Ondekane said that all the U.N. mission in Congo would be remembered for in the village of Kisangani was “for running after little girls.”

In May 2003, this ER episode aired:

Episode 175172
KISANGANI

DR. CARTER RISKS LIFE IN AFRICA WHEN HE VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE VICTIMS OF CONGOLESE CIVIL WAR — In a change-of-pace episode, a sweat-soaked Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) finally arrives in the war-torn Congo as part of a voluntary medical program and he finds primitive Third-World facilities, a few heroic staffers and woeful patients overflowing the tiny hospital while a bloody civil war threatens to engulf them all. Carter ventures deeper into the jungle to reunite with Dr. Kovac (Goran Visnjic) as they risk their lives manning a crude outpost used for a vaccination campaign — and soon find themselves in the withering line of fire between the warring tribes.

This episode, and the season openers that followed, also taking place in the Congo, featured a bunch of hoity-toity European do-gooders lecturing Carter on Bush’s foreign policy, forcing him to finally defend himself with a pitiful “Hey, don’t look at me, I didn’t vote for him.”

Uh huh. Maybe for this year’s exciting finale, the writers should to send him back to Kisangani with a few extra rape kits.
