So what I really don't understand anymore in the world today. Only a few years ago Gaddafi was about to become the friend of the West, allowed to pitch his magnificent tent in the middle of Paris. Then suddenly we bomb him away - just because some Philosopher tells the French president it's about time to. Don't get me wrong, I still think Germany should actually have joined in in the no flight zone enforcement and not cowardly bowed out - I just don't get why suddenly. Then Assad. The man has always been kind of an ally to the West, a balancing force in the region - now we want to get rid of him. Again, the West should have acted there much earlier, before thousands of people were massacred, but the sudden transition in politics and media. I mean it's not that these people became kleptocratic despots within the last couple of years, they have been grinding every penny out of these countries for decades, it's a family business.
Now then the Kongo: There is an ongoing genocide there for a long as I can think (or notice such things) - 20 years or so. Every now and then a bit of coverage in the media, but any outcry? Anything happening bar some good willed, but largely powerless UN missions? Nothing!!! So this is disgusting really - and I don't understand the ignorance.
