SOMALIA: MEET THE LATEST WAR CRIME
You know.....the persistent Christian oppression of Somalia is truly amazing. In 1920 the British, in their crazed determination to take over Somalia, killed more than half the people in Northern Somalia.
Yes, they really did. To force their way in to rule Somalia....the British killed more than HALF of the people in Northern Somalia (the people who dared to resist them taking over).
Just coldly wiped them out, mostly with a relentless aerial bombardment of every village and everything that moved.....man, woman, child, goats--everything.
Just another little-known Christian crusade.
Nobody in the West really cared. The dead were, after all, only Muslims.
Today, at America's bidding, the Ethiopian Christian armies are trying to do the same thing.
Over the past few years, a Muslim government, the Council of Islamic Courts, had brought a semblance of order to Somalia after many years of instability and violence. Things were getting better. Peace was coming.
But America couldn't allow Muslims to take over--America thinks Muslims are terrorists....so, the Christian Ethiopian Army was used by America to invade Somalia to crush the hated Muslims (with the help of American advisors, spy planes, spy satellites.....and, of course, air strikes from American aircraft carriers).
What America has now accomplished is that Somalia is again in chaos and the people are rising up against America's puppet, the occupying Ethiopian army.
And the streets of Mogadishu are again running red with blood.
The whole scenario is so familiar:
From the Toronto Star:
Canada really shouldn't feel too guilty for her silence.....nobody else is standing up to America either.
America wouldn't give a damn anyway.
America, like the British in 1920, is willing to kill as many as necessary to gain control of Somalia, killing, in the first few days, about 100 innocent civilians.
And, like the British in 1920, they used low-risk aerial bombardment (low-risk to the bombers--high-risk to those bombed).....killing men, women, children, goats.....anything that moved was a "terrorist ally."
How can anyone stop this?
The answer is blowin' in the wind....but America just doesn't give a damn about the wind.

The whole scenario is so familiar:
From the Toronto Star:
American-backed, foreign Christian troops intervene in a Muslim civil war to unseat the winning Islamist side; a U.S. warplane searching for alleged terrorists in that same country blasts the wrong people; both the European Union and the United Nations express their dismay; Canada, home to tens of thousands of immigrants from this war-torn, African nation, says nothing.Somalia: Meet the Latest War Crime
Does any of this sound familiar?
If not, it should. Somalia is making headlines again and the world is nervous. That's because this week's events in that East African country are eerily reminiscent of other failed Western adventures in other far-off Muslim lands.
