I guess it helps to read it from a fresh angle.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, Nigeria...Wow, Lanre. Thanks for your comments. Yes, Nigeria is blessed. We hardly contend with natural disasters so we create man-made disaster in their place!<br /><br />The rhinos must be profitable biz. I'll have to admit I also question the stats of it being more expensive than gold & platinum. But I suppose that's how NGOs drive home their point.<br /><br /><br />On Libya, as Dlaw mentioned, Gaddafi was in power for 42 years. So if you're going to exclude every person who had dealings with his government, you'll exclude a whole lot of people. Besides, considering the way they lynched Gaddafi, I don't consider them any better.Oluchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688698198937659375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-52631241339308870402012-01-03T18:04:22.386-08:002012-01-03T18:04:22.386-08:00Nigeria is blessed in many ways than one but we wo...Nigeria is blessed in many ways than one but we won't realize this value until we lose all of it. We're no different from Chile when it comes to heat but still the only heat wave we experience are burning skins and fried hair. <br /><br />I really don't understand what the US is doing by quenching fire with fire but my guess is they've got some form of hidden agenda. If what you said about the Rhinos is true, then wearing Rhino skin or having its tusk as a pendant would be more valuable than a gold chain. Wow! One thing is for sure, I can't propose with a Rhino tusk as an engagement ring. <br /><br /><br />If you ask me, excluding those who served under Gaddafi might be in their best interest. You never know whom he may have chosen as his Darth Vader to destroy all Jedi (Libya) and bring fake peace to the republic. Pushing women away from occupying seats of power is something I'll never support. At least, Dora did a good job here.<br /> <br />You really went around the world, and it was pretty fast too.

Excluding people who served under the former regime from participating in elections is a bit too extreme if you ask me. It is a needless generalisation that every official under Gaddafi was corrupt & has nothing good to offer. <br /><br />As for SA, I don't know who the poachers are, but I'm guessing they must be greedy individuals ready to cash in on the Asians appetite for rhino horns & elephant tusks. <br /><br />About the cat pic in the short story, I know.

Or is this a deliberate attempt to employ only incompetent fools?!<br />And seeing South Africa's high position amongst other countries in terms of GDP, one would presume that they didn't need to continue killing our prized animals.<br />Either way the SA goverment is not taking care of its citizens and we are not being told about it; or the international laws for sustainable development are all a farce.DLawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-87985303351125914262012-01-03T16:31:05.776-08:002012-01-03T16:31:05.776-08:00In supplying multiple weapons to Saudi Arabia, the...In supplying multiple weapons to Saudi Arabia, the centre of Islamic theory, I don't think that the USA is really aware of what it is playing with.

I think the U.S are supply the weapons to bolster their economy, and protect their interests in the middle east.<br /><br />About the Turkish story, I couldn't agree more with you. Ironically the government refused to disclose how much compensation will be paid. <br />On a separate note, why is it so hard for countries to grant autonomy to ethnic minorities agitating for it?

I wonder how much they'll reckon each victim is worth? These days money can buy justice? Here's a thought, how about justice be the compensation got these families; haul the general who ordered the strike before a court of law, charge him with multiple counts of murder, then drag to court his assistants including those who supplied the wrong intelligence and charge them with the same offences?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536725793966028344noreply@blogger.com
