Hey they wanted to be free and rule themselves, they said they were ready..How is that our fault?
Really? So you support men who use their Air Force against their own people. Wow that says more then I ever could.
When you are an oppressed people, you want to be free from your chains. That's what we did, and we had a pretty rough start at first. The benefit that we had was that the educated elite also happened to be the demographic majority of the settlers at the time so they didn't cut tail and run like they did in Africa, taking everything with them. That's how we lucked out. The African countries were left to fend for themselves, and mostly only the poor whites remained who are not much more intelligent than the indigenous. It is the white man's fault for running away without leaving anything behind. They took everything, and whatever they left behind, they continue to pillage to this day via the corporation and corrupt leaders they bought for themselves.
I can come up with a false dichotomy of my own, too. You don't support men who, without them, would result in Christians being slaughtered and chased out of town while their churches are being burned down?

The overwhelming majority of those dead died because of famine, not in a labor camp. Besides, every last Chinese emperor with a great project had similar results, too. You don't think people died being forced to build the Great Wall? Communism had nothing to do with it, because the same resulted in right-wing monarchies of the past
There are powerful and supremely evil people in
this world that are striving for a total world population of 500 million. That means that only one in 14 of those now
alive would be left ( btw we are not one of those).
The news media is talking about how terrible it is when countless people die from war and mass illness. Many are dying in the 3rd World Counties. On a personal emotional basis I cry for an individual who dies before old age for any reason. But on a practical basis maybe the wars and illness that kill countless people in the 3rd world is for a reason. A message from God that the country, or region of the world has too many people for it's natural resources and economic situation. If a million die in a war this year, maybe 5 million will not die or suffer in the next 20 years.
Much like deer in the forest. It is better to kill a certain number of deer than have all of them starve to death.
Some people would say it would not be a bad thing if a pandemic hit Europe and North America and got rid of those that use the most resources and do the most polluting. Guess it depends on ones point of view.
A lot of the third world's failures have much to do with meddling, past and present, from white governments around the world. Most colonial governments left behind countries that were a mess, robbed of their resources, and never bothered to cultivate any human capital while they were colonized. What's left is what they had before they were colonized. Qadaffi made a difference in Africa. Libya, under his leadership, was the most developed country in Africa alongside of South Africa, and probably would have surpassed it in due time. Most African countries need a leader like Qadaffi, they have not been taught how to govern themselves by their European oppressors, and are not developed enough as a result. Some countries need strongmen to lead them, that's just a fact of life
Like Spain did in LatAm starting 1492? Like China trying to push its luck in parts of Africa in 2014?

Stop it, please. Many whites and Asians left Africa because it wasn't safe for them there because of Black racism. Too; if white people were a BIG minority in Zimbabwe, they weren't, when Mugabe got control, there'd been an ugly civil war with the Blacks probably losing.
It's up to Africa to grow up and QUIT blaming the white or Asian man man for it's failures in 2014. Word is Botswana IS taking care of business. Sheesh!
