War instead of peace.

One of the reasons it is so easy for the USA to have Wall Street wars is because of the impoverishment of Africa as a chronic state of being. It is difficult for any African nation to mount a serious defense of itself, even from terrorists within.

Poverty is a convenient strategy for The West when it comes to Africa.

So, what the Algerians have been able to do to end the infiltration of terrorist attempts in their country is very impressive. I sincerely didn't expect it. They did very well for themselves.

What did those actions sincerely mean?

It means The West has no right to invade their country as the USA invaded Iraq and the Algerian people will not face the nightmare of war and death. That is what that means.

As noted in Mali, there was one incident, virtually unnoticed by the world which caused a huge instability in Mali. That one incident was viewed by the people as the beginnings of a tyrannical regime taking over their lives. The Mali people believed they would be facing another Darfur. Hence, the terrorist network gained validity and grew.

Now, because al Qaeda has a valid and growing presence in Mali they have become a threat to The West. They are not a threat by name only, they are a real threat. France did not send jets into Mali because it was 'al Qaeda' with a larger membership, it is because al Qaeda IN ITS ROLE IN MALI, is blaming The West for the people's problems. The march north by al Qaeda in Mali is no accident. Al Qaeda in Mali is a rudimentary force that puts their lives on the line for their purpose. They believe they have a noble purpose. What they actually have is gross negligence of The West for a need for their own national security.

Why gross negligence? Why not? It is cheap. The West knows the economic uptick it receives from war. So, what difference does it make that seventeen holy men were killed out of some kind of 'telephone chain' authority without clear national security directives. So what if the holy men were left to solicit a well traveled truck driver for a lift through the rigors of check points? So what? That is not The West's problem. After all we have jets and bombs; who in Africa has room to do anything about it?

Ah, Russia. China. But, alas they aren't sincerely there in a way that matters because The West out guns them too.

Do yourself a favor and ask why the peace movement is viewed as a weak defense of the USA?

Have a better day. It would be nice if Africa did.
