    Very interesting article. Whats happening in Mali reminds me of the Irag war. Although France captured many of Al-Qaeda stronghold, there've been several suicide attacks in just last week alone.

    The same Islamic forces are on rampage in Syria but the West hails it. Stop listening to zionist mainstream media. That is where you get poisoned.

    John has shown ability for INDEPENDENT thought and synthesis. It is not the usual fare about reality show or soccer. Sadly many Africans will not read it. But Euro-Americans will. But John, keep it up.
