One question seems to be overlooked in all this talk about the troubles in various parts of the World and that is that in all those countries just who it is that's causing the trouble there? It's their own kind of people killing their own not some foreign invader hell-bent on taking over the country.
Sure, this country colonised many parts of the World and more or less did as they liked to the people already there but some countries were actually better off as a colony particularly when the people adopted "our" way of life. OK, so some people didn't like it and eventually rose up and took over then going back to "their" way of life up to a point. Best example is Southern Rhodesia I think?
India is "part British" in their way of life and the other part is, well, pretty tribal?
I met a young chap very smartly dressed, spoke impeccable English and had an excellent vocabulary. He was a young doctor! He was obviously of "foreign" origin so I asked him where he was from. Somalia! I asked him if he preferred our Western way of life or that of Somalia. He preferred our way of life. I asked him how long he'd been here. 11years, so I asked him if he'd like to go back. The immediate answer was "NO". The only thing he'd prefer to be different was....... the weather, although he was grateful for the rain, he said "you can have too much of a good thing".
The current situation around the World is reminiscent of the Wild West when unscrupulous people sold firewater and guns to the Indians.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
