African nations aren't exactly famous for their powerful militaries. If the best solution is conquering them all and fixing the situation by the most overt means possible, it'd probably be less expensive than constant charity donations untill Africa fixes itself. Of course, the US can't go into this alone, guns blazing. We'd need European support at the very least, but I imagine the nostalgia for the old days of colonial imperialism must still linger in some of Europe's more nationalistic citizens.
