Don't get me wrong. I'm no supporter of human rights abuses neither do I condone any leadership that inflict pain and suffering on its own people. I have no relations to Gaddafi or Libya except that we are all proud Africans. That being said, I do highly respect Gaddafi's proposition to the African Union re: United States of Africa. Well, for some reason politics always comes in the way of true solidarity and equality for all. At the same token, I HATE this well crafted manipulation by Western media and "super powers" whereby Gaddafi is constantly demonized whiles they simultaneously violate human rights and commit mayhem. What is NATO doing in Libya if not killing innocent people and destroying lives and property? Why isn't NATO in Israel "redeeming" the Palestinians? How convenient! AND where is the African Union? And the UN? How diplomatic! When did violence and force ever proved to be THE way to solve conflicts? AND why charge Gaddafi with war crimes when George W sits in Texas freely? Such a deceptive and unfair world. And the worse part, Africans desperately in need for change do not stop to think how carefully orchestrated these "interventions" are. In the long run, the damage that will be cause becomes irreversible and endemic.
I must confess, it makes me sick sometimes to be a part of the human race - too evil, unjust, and demonic for my liking! Were I to return to life after death, I'll definitely come back as a Simba - the Lion King. Go figure!
See my point? This is exactly what I'm talking about - just received this from CDC Public Health Law News letter - even worse than Tuskegee Trials:

“It’s ironic — no, it’s worse than that, it’s appalling — that, at the same time as the United States was prosecuting Nazi doctors for crimes against humanity, the U.S. government was supporting research that placed human subjects at enormous risk.”

I cannot but agree with your position on the United States Impunity. It's like the entire world revolves around a criteria set by the US, but for the US alone. In reality, the United Nations presents the image of standing today as the protector of Western Interests. The African Union on the other hand is following after its predecessor, the OAU - A toothless bulldog.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Safiyya for your comments. I don't know why the US feels it is their responsibility to be the "international guardian" for the world when in fact, they have so much internal issues to grapple with. Ah well, it's only time that can actually prove China's alternative role!
