I thought that that was really decent of him. yes... there are some Europeans who care enough to speak out about the cruel injustices that Africa suffers under... Africa has been the pawn and the football of the powerful nations for as long as the white man's history... Someone asked me what I am doing about it... it is simple, I am speaking out... but I'm not going to kiss European butt... I'd sooner go to war with Europe for what is due us... of course that means terrorism because Africa cannot win a conventional war, and I don't go to war to lose... so this generation has had its wakeup call on 9.11, but I think its going to take more of your deaths to make you realise how serious and desperate the situation in Africa is, before you relent... you might be living in comfort and ease... but we're not, and while that disparity exists, you should fear... -- smash yer modem, reboot, kill yerself if in doubt, suck me www.AdderleyStreet.co.za
