#1 Let me see.
Nicki & Davy (mischievous, but good hearted boys) engineered a war to replace a horrible, horrible dictator (who threatened their oil revenues, or their machismo, or something) with adherents of Religion of Peace. As a result of this war a lot of people in Libya died (and a lot more are going to die) and a lot of weapons found their way into the hands of (what is called by people unwilling to face facts) Islamists. My question is, what the f*ck the author means by the title?

#2 Agree with your question, g(r)omgoru -- clearly some Kenyan editorial creativity was involved. But I seem to recall that the impetus for supporting the various rebels was that the dapper colonel had threatened to open the floodgates and let all of Africa pour into Europe.
