This is America's war you are fighting. I guess they'll compensate you the way they did when Al-Qaeda attacked, right? It's so interesting how war makes people forget how horrible the criminals in government are. <blockquote>Pride, pride, pride With it to hell we ride Where shall the rational run When idiot comes with gun Pride, pride, pride </blockquote> Nyang’au, do you really think the government gives a fuck about you?

If u know somebody is plotting to destroy u , u will have to do whatever it takes to protect ua citizen, which is the governments' responsibility.Wheter u can feed all ua people, and some idiots want to wipe all of them out, what will be the benefit after all? should Kenya sit and wait for these idiots to bring their launches to the border and start launching so that Kenya can attack? Am no miltary but my concious tells me somethings ought to be done. u don't have to agree with all but as a leader, ua judgement will endure. if they win and the economy falls, is not the end of the world. u will never have both ways, but something gotta give.and if the Alshabab manage to attack us as they say,wheter u defend / not , can't defend everywhere.that's a fact.the government will do its part to protect her citizens at whatever cost. its our responsibity to report any unfamiliar trends along the neighbourhoods before any terror happens. we all have to play part like western countries. if one sees something, they all report it immediately and proper follow up is conducted. Police are no angels, neither is ua government. talking of defence, The most powerful country was attacked!so has others. the only issue I have with my country is that they don't think those Kenyan lives that were lost as worthy but only took action after some foreiners were attacked/ kidnapped. that really angers me.No one's life is more important than the other but our government is still pleasing others. well, long way for us as a nation. Untill we all wake up, we will be followers and never lead in any way. When Alqaeda bombed my homeland and killed several innoccent people, I need to know where u were.

I am both African American and Mexican, but I found your post to be very informative in the fact that I learned a great deal about social interaction and sexual stigmas and how they differ here than in Africa. Thanks for sharing, you cleared up misconceptions I had about hand holding in African culture. Very well said!

I can't believe "the New York Times suggested that if African men spent less on “alcohol, tobacco and prostitutes” and more on education, Africa would be better off". I'd love to see where they got there evidence to support this claim! Thanks again, Sean Hi Edwin,
