Intelligencia my man.
Hitler was told not to go to Poland. He was then told not to go to Russia.
Note it is the policy of appeasement deliberately pursued by these same European powers (kina Brito) that allowed the Fuhrer of the Third Reich to invade many other countries!The pendulum swang when babies were burnt in a church. And I'm swinging it!
But the truth never dies.
Get the mf's out of this place to answer their queries.
I agree. For someone who's always posting Alkaida, I'm very disappointed.
Haiya. You miss my point - by several galaxies.
I am against EU (actually any foreign) overt or covert interference in our electoral process, because although they come chanting the mantra of democracy we know their underlying self-interest is their real motivation,not our welfare. However, if someone killed people, then they must face the law.
I also need to disillusion you: I do not support TNA.
BTW, my choice for Kenya's next president is guided by a simple template of where we are as a country now, and where we want to go and who is best placed to offer that leadership.
Where we are:
Kenya has all the ingredients of economic take-off: a hardworking & skilled people, good constitution, revamped judiciary,improving infrastructure, good oil & gas resources, a rising geo-politico-economic stature because of our Somalia campaign, role in regional and int. bodies, Nbi becoming an attractive hub for aviation, pharmaceutical (Pfizer), ICT (Google,IBM)interests etc. V-2030 is a good roadmap.
Where we want to go:
the promised land of middle income nations, with political and economic freedom.
Who to take us there:
While we had a Founding Father, what we now need is a Father of Development just like Malaysia had, to guide the nation there.
Then I examined who,IMO, has the best qualities to lead us there...
Loud geo-political thoughts:Kibs started the look-east policy, ndio why the Chinese are all over.
Jubilee would most likely complete our move totally to the East...pamoja na our mafuta.
Cord would most likely take us west.
Qstn: would the West be comfortable with that?
