Dirty Fighters

Entrepreneurial buccaneering is all very well of course; but like nepotism, knowledge and even nuclear weapons it can be dangerous in the wrong hands. In 2011 a revolution brought chaos to Libya, though Britain's leading liberal newspaper bashfully omits mention of Her Majesty's Government's enthusiastic contribution to the wog-bombing campaign, or indeed the People's Haystack's amusing pleasantries about the country's holiday-resort potential once the bodies had been cleared away. Anyway, despite all efforts at stabilising the region by the tried and tested democratic methods of dropping bombs on people and letting large corporations do the rest, it seems things remain a bit wobbly. As a result, Sudanese foreign fighters are apparently invading Libya despite being only Africans themselves; and some have compounded their atrocities by becoming involved in the people-trafficking business which, as we know, can all too frequently lead to the ultimate evil of migrancy. Clearly, much hand-wringing remains to be done.

    But I am assured by a sympathizer with the Cruise Missile Liberalism in power at the time through the glorious ascendency of the Peace Prize President Hope and Change that Kadaffi was a Very Bad Man. Bombs and chaos were the only solution.

    Cruise Missile Liberals are the GOOD wog-bombers. Unlike those nasty conservatives!

    It's the lack of ambition that's so disheartening. Freed from the burdens of a repressive state, liberated from the complexities of managing their own oil, granted a lifetime's opportunity to rebuild their country from the ground up, what did they do? Instead of rejoicing in their labours and investing in infrastructure, they turned into migrants. Have they no worthier dreams? What has the Libyan entertainment industry been up to all this time?
