| France Warns of Military Action in Syria |
| 2012-04-26 |
| There must be an election coming on. France has issued a warning that the UN Security Council will have to consider military action in Syria if international diplomacy fails to cease the violence. According to FM Alain Juppe, the moment of truth will be May 5, when Special Envoy Kofi Annan will report to the Security Council. Juppe added that if 300 observers arenÂ’t deployed in Syria within 2 weeks, France would turn to the Security Council. |

| #2 And the question that can never be asked lies in the background.........."was colonialism really all that bad?" It was terrible. It denied the local elites the chance to lord it over the local underclasses. The local elites were worse off under colonialism, whereas the plebes were better off. Smart local elites figured this out and got the local plebes to help them evict their colonial rulers. After which many of the plebes had to go into exile to make a decent living. But at least the local elites got to advance their interests. |
