Apparently all the rich people in Mali are fleeing.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

What, both of them?  :P

So when are the global protests scheduled?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Hollande said one of the intervention reasons was the presence of 6,000 French citizens in Mali.

They thought they were safe from 75% tax. :(

Why do you think people should protest? This seems similar to the US mission in Uganda to find and kill the Lord's Resistance Army. I can't remember any protests against that.

TIME reports that "there is a fear in France that a radical Islamist Mali threatens France most of all — since most of the Islamists are French speakers and many have relatives in France."

And they probably thought it was a smart idea to teach French to Isliamists :rolleyes:

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

When have there ever been global protests about intervention in Africa?
