THOUGHTS ON ADVENTURISM IN THE M. EAST, AFRICA

THE WEST LIKES SALIFISTS IN SYRIA KILLS THEM IN YEMEN, MALI!

 The notion that the West's renewed interest in Africa is derived from an altruistic desire to help African states combat terrorism and establish democracy is rather absurd. It was the NATO alliance, lest one forgets, that so eagerly aligned with Salifi fighters to topple Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. Moreover, it is this very same military alliance that is now simultaneously cheering Salifists in Syria, while bombing them in the AfPak region, Somalia, Yemen, and now Mali.

    DR. BILL HESSELL RESPONDS TO THIS POST:

The confusion evident in our foreign policy and military adventurism in the Middle East and Africa obviously know no end.  Whatever the objectives, the end goals are not only unclear but bound to fail.  Colonialism is over, period.  We are operating on other people's terrain, they are bound to prevail and determine their own future.  We are making things worse for us in the long run, and certainly not helping them.  And how are we paying for these endeavors when we claim to not have funds available for many of our own pressing domestic needs?  Our recent and current administrations have much to answer for, the verdict of history will not be kind.
