Just asking--'cuz the president did come dayum close to apologizing for the enslavement of our Afrikan ancestors... Which concerns me, 'cuz I'm thinkin' whatsup, heerah now??? 
Watch out for the all out reshipment of negroes back to Africa... Watch out for these "special cards" that all amerikkklans must carry to show that they are not terrorists...
And y'all bedda believe that this whole think is about exploiting the diamonds... Iraq was about oil... Liberia is about diamonds... Oil and diamonds... Even if they are not jewelry grade, the diamonds are good for weapons of mass destruction... A diamond is the hardest substance on earth... Only another diamond can cut a diamond... You gotta get those WMD's in the satellites somehow...
There is "chatter" that foreign countries will make dayum sure ads for the democratic presidential candidate are WELL funded... The whole of Europe is rather pissed at Bush for jackin' they chit up in Iraq--France lost billion dollar contracts on oil... The EU don't like Bush's style at all. France and Germany don't like the US right now... And the UK is very close to not liking Bush also...
I'd say that 2004--foreign countries will make sure the presidential "chads" will be specifically counted!!!

True, he did come close to apologizing. But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. The point is he DIDN'T. I find it further insulting that he made such a speech in Senegal yet has said nary a word like that right here in the U.S.
You also stated correctly that diamonds have worth besides jewlery, they are used in manufacturing and lasers I think.
Sistermadly, actually there was some hulaballoo about Clinton's trip to Africa. I think it was the most extensive one ever by a U.S. president prior to Bush #2. However, it had little other historical signifiance as far as I know.
