HOUSE BY HOUSE, ALLEY BY ALLEY, WE AVENGE YOU MUAMMAR!

Oh, forgive me for accidentally supporting the guy who started all this trouble.

President Museveni has had a long association with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and similarities have been drawn between the two men's decade-long rules. On Monday, he penned a missive on the Libyan crisis in which he attacked Western powers for backing a no-fly zone instituted by the United Nations...

Musevini has ruled in central Africa for over 20 years and the list of graft, corruption, armed alliances, conflicts, revolts, insurrections and casualties over the last 30 years are huge, see Wikipedia.

Jacob Zuma has had corruption and fraud charges brought against him, later dropped, and has never publicly condemned the policies of perhaps the longest lasting cruel dictator in southern Africa, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Mugabe, who has arrested/shot or imprisoned his opponents, and who has made political graft an art form, took his nation from being a grain exporting nation to a bankrupt wasteland, which its starving residents flee, often across barbed wire fences meant to keep them out of Zuma's South Africa.

These are hardly guys who care about those who are oppressed by fanatical dictators, for all we know they are both on Qadaffi's list of big shots he pays off with 'his' oil money which they may fear will be lost if he loses control of Libya.

Yeah, one of the links I gave

Yeah, one of the links I gave kgb said that the AU felt like it was just used for cover, and after the vote no one even mentioned them again. And Saleh may fall, but Bahrain may prove the powder keg, I'm thinking. Especially given the fact that its seen as crucial to the economic elite, and that those Shiites are just trouble, even after the King offered them some carrots!
