[QUANTUM LEAP]

Amore divided world is emerging ....interesting read.

 

what the Africans think about the war.

[Gabbal]

Intresting.

 

Nigeria's This Day said: "America has failed to convince the world that Iraq poses any immediate threat to any nation on earth today. The question America has failed to answer is what makes the alleged pre-emptive war so urgent?"

 

The Mail & Guardian of Johannesburg said the war "is about revenge; about American penis size as much as American bellies. It is an object lesson to the Islamic world in the aftermath of the Twin Towers and a shot across the bows of the other great powers with interests in the Gulf. It is an opportunity for hard-eyed generals and their industrial suppliers to test new military toys. The last thing it is really about is the liberation of the Iraqi people."

 

Ethiopia is one of three African countries on the U.S. list of the "coalition of the willing," but the independent Daily Monitor of Addis Ababa said "the way of the world" is for powerful nations to gain from the misfortunes of others. "It now becomes clear that only the great powers can speak of national interests [and] sovereignty and the rest of the world is supposed to say nothing."

 

The Post of Zambia declared, "They [the United States and Britain] will get their world, the world they seek, a world that will be steadily more and more ungovernable."

 

An op-ed in Business Day of Johannesburg raised the specter of apartheid: "Democratisation of the UN is vital in organising the new global multipolarity. [south Africa] and the rest of the continent have no choice but to go this route. Joining in a new Anglo-American hegemony leads nowhere but to the ratification of global apartheid."

It seems like the Moral crusade of being the masters of human rights and fairness has suddenly gone out of the window. Now the Africans who used to be intimidated by the wests principles will finally realise that dictatorships do not only exist in Africa but also the west where it is well organised and overwhelming. Just imagine acountry to go to war whilst their people and parliament being against it.
