"I tremble for the fate of my country when I consider that God is just." Thomas Jefferson
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary C. was in Tripoli and asked for the head of Ghadaffi. Two days later his captors shot dead the wounded man. It was a moment of grisly unity as the Born Again West used "predator drones" to enable Islamic mad-hats to pounce on Ghadaffi. At last he was punished for making Libya a prosperous country with education and medical care for all. From here on Libya is to be a managed free-enterprise "democracy."
For Lady Clinton, Ghaddafi's macabre death was an important opportunity for image management. It was no accident that we were provided with her "reaction" shot. Hillary's image had been earlier tarnished when the White House released the on...

On August 4, 1993, in Arusha, Tanzania, the Government of Rwanda and the Rwandese Patriotic Front signed the Arusha Peace Agreement. The provisions of the agreement included a commitment to principles of the rule of law, democracy, national unity, pluralism, the respect of fundamental freedoms and the rights of the individual. The agreement further had provisions on power-sharing, formation of one and singles National Army and a new National Gendarmerie from forces of the two warring parties; and a definitive solution to the problem of Rwandan refugees.

The headlines tell us, Sarkozy and Cameron survey Libya. That would be the "We broke it, we bought it" tour.
Proving domestic policy is foreign policy the mini-titans of France and England did a walkabout in the Tripoli they had thoroughly bombed. At home they beat up blacks and Arabs and abroad they do the same. Hired help in the form of the NTC (NATO Transition Council) auditioned as "rebels" and democrats. It was a team effort. Even the newly named "Royal Canadian" air force blew up some offending infrastructure. "All dogs bite the bitten dog" goes the proverb.
Of course Sirte and a few other spots have not yet been captured. The NTC apparently intends to maintain its perfect record of not winning a single battle without NATO air, sea and missile support....

We need an international movement to free Rwandan opposition leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. Her case is important to African people all over the continent and in the Diaspora and to all of us, all people.
The weight on Victoire’s shoulders is that of resource war, the ongoing wars for the world’s natural resources that threaten to destroy the whole planet. The fate of her tiny East African nation, Rwanda, is intertwined with the resource war in Rwanda’s vast, resource rich neighbor, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, site of the most lethal conflict since World War II. The Congo conflict has taken over 6 million African lives since 1998 alone.
Background of the Congo conflict, in Rwanda and Uganda
In 1990, the U.S. and Uganda backed...
