And who asked them in? And for whose interests are they killing the thousands they will kill tonight?
Sometimes one can't help but ask, amidst all the hypocritical sound-bites that the international corporate media seeks to crowd minds and eyes with.
Exactly who asked for tens of thousands of ordinary African citizens to be murdered by European and American arms/mercenaries under the guise of freeing the "benighted natives from their savage kinsmen"?
Could it possibly be that some people are still worried about how it came to be their their oil is still in their soil? And how it is that the oil of Texas came to nestle uneasily under the presumptuous soil of Tripoli/Benghazi/Sirte?
Could be it that some newly minted statesmen who need high-heel shoes to boost what little self-esteems they have think that murdering defenceless civilians would finally make up for what they lack in stature?
Could it be that some mongrel folks with "questionable allegiances" need to prove just how faithful they are to the cause of Empire by wreaking bloodbaths in spaces where the political cost is likely to be zero and the gains for their Texas/Wall Street masters tantalizingly good?
What is America doing, once again killing African citizens indiscriminately after the sordid history of the past five hundred years?
And what is Europe, its day in the sun at last done and its fantasies of former glory no more than dying embers of a fire stuttering into well-earned oblivion... what is Europe doing sponsoring mayhem on my continent?
And do they presume that we shall always say--in a lame nod to the gods of lame stupidity--that "God forgive White Europe"?
These are initial questions. But we shall seek more...and more...if we need to.
Euro-America, we are counting your sins.
We may not forgive when you shall finally find the courage to live up to basic human obligations.
