T...Thank you Silver for writing this post tonight. The major news outlets barely mentioned it. It is extreemly important, but at yet very tenuous. It is a very complex situation, and it's a lot more than just 'Jihadis' or "evil forces" in the way of progress for the new Republic of South Sudan.<br /><br />And thank you for reminding us that the results thus far do prove some wisdom in the way we've engaged this situation over the past twenty years, regardless of administration or congress. We simply could not have heavily imposed ourselves on the Sudan. It wouldn't have worked.<br /><br />I always felt terrible about the troubles in the Sudan. But I never could imagine a way we could get involved in a benefit-positive way.<br /><br />More importantly though is what needs to happen now in the RSS. Here's a little reminder of the hurdles that remain: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/10/us-sudan-secession-idUSTRE76928420110710<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-14175027740505676782011-07-10T15:24:54.819-06:002011-07-10T15:24:54.819-06:00I'm happy that this change has come, but I'...I'm happy that this change has come, but I'm not sure it's the foothold of hope in Eastern Africa that it's being cracked up to be. It leaves a hardliner Islamic regime with al-Qaeda affiliated Janjaweed militias to their north, as well as al-Qeda friendly Ethiopia and Somalia to their east and Muammar Gadhafi-friendly central African Marxist regimes to their west. <br /><br />Without southern Sudan to concentrate on, the Islamic nutcases of northern Sudan can turn their attentions northward... to chaos-filled Egypt, aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood / al-Qaeda nutcases there. Even without friendly airdrops of weapons for the Janjaweed courtesy of the world's greatest shit-disturber France from UN bases in Chad, the vulnerable and largely defenseless Christians of southern Egypt are now a juicy target for the Islamic madmen. <br /><br />Meanwhile, al-Qaeda is getting direct air support against Gadhafi in Libya from us in a coalition led by guess who... <br /><br />Wouldn't it be more to the point for us to just go to war with France, instead of participating in their African gang rapes?<br /><br />Haiti, Vietnam, West Africa... France's sloppy seconds really stink.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-57825727902906833902011-07-10T10:42:12.561-06:002011-07-10T10:42:12.561-06:00I certainly wish them well, but can't help won...I certainly wish them well, but can't help wondering why the United States in this post-colonial world should have any official interest in what happens anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa? <br /><br />If we believed in self-determination, as we like to think we do, we ought to BUTT OUT, and stop trying to influence and direct the internal affairs of foreign nations.<br /><br /><b>As a country whose very sovereignty is threatened from within, we have plenty of problems of our own to confront before we start trying to put out fires in other corners of the world.</b><br /><br />Interference, intervention, attempts to refashion others in an image we believe would be better for them -- and ore agreeable to us -- is a hallmark of PROGRESSIVISM. Marxists, Communists, Socialists, Statists, Liberals, Progressives -- whatever you want to call them -- are all born BUSYBODIES.<br /><br />Eleanor Roosevelt remains prototypical of the breed. She was, as some may remember, an individual who kept herself so busy Saving the World by trying to tell others what to do and how to do it, that she made a train wreck of her marriage, was incompetent in the performance of her domestic duties, and had a sad excuse for a personal life. <i>Eleanor couldn't deal with her domineering bitch of mother-in-law, so she went out to reform mankind, instead.</i> <br /><br />Typical liberal logic in play there.<br /><br />Until our very own Harlem and Detroit get straightened out, we have no business trying to call the shots in Africa, Asia or South and Central America.<br /><br /><b>George W. Bush may have run as Republican, but we need to understand that he was first and foremost a <i>LIBERAL</i></b>, and because of that we owe much of the difficulty we're in today to GWB and his immediate predecessors. Obama is carrying on and expanding the disastrous policies of many who came before him. Obooboo is nothing more than Bush on Speed. <br /><br />Let Patience form her perfect work. And let Christianity sell itself and flourish or fail on its own merits.<br /><br />~ FreeThinkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-55028827088244085412011-07-10T08:45:41.686-06:002011-07-10T08:45:41.686-06:00The UN?

Frnaklin's words are an important reminder of how fragil a democratic republic is without continued vigilence by its citizens.
