Sir, may I say again that I don not buy into your idea that maybe because America is wrong, then Iran is right.
At the end of the day you are asking us to replace one tyrant with another.

A tyrant in whose culture a Blackman is still sub-human, a woman is still sub-human, the other man's faith is the faith of an infidel and a man who is convinced that because he supports one side in a land dispute the other side does not have the right to exist and the history of that side is fiction.
What are the facts here because you do not like America we should throw all sense of responsibility to the wind and allow the world to go crazy without a maintenance of order.

Sir, democracy is an inherent human right, it is not subject to a cultural identity or a religious ideology. So I don't understand the idea of democracy growing with time according to local customs.
When a man is hungry in Europe, Africa, Asia or America, it feels the same way.
When a personal rights are trampled upon and an individual is humiliated it feels the same whether it is Burma, USA, Nigeria or China.
When wrong choices are made by unqualified leaders and the economy suffers the social fabric that suffers from generation to generation is not delineated by culture or tradition.

Any community that would not grow and transform would subsequently die, then should we allow those who have a suicide wish to drag the rest of us down.

Certain things in human experience are the same, please do not insult me by telling me that I am not sophisticated enough to choose a competent leader, or to decide on what the rule of engagements should be between the state and the people, or to decide on how much tax I should pay, or what the school curriculum should be in the schools in Lagos or what minimum level of education is required of a parliamentarian.

Maybe Bush is wrong, maybe America is wrong, maybe France and the EU are wrong.
But don't tell me Ahmedinajjad is right, The Mynamar Generals are right, Hugo Chavez is right, Osama Bin Laden is right.

The Greeks, the Romans, The Persians, The Macedonians, The Othomans at one time in history have occupied the position the Americans occupy today.

There has never been a vacume at the top.


Today the stake is different and the challenges are out there in diversity,science, commerce, human right, tolerance, equity, global reach and anti-repudiation
( this last bit is a term used in Info Security).

As a Nigerians lets get to work, the Chinese and the Indians did not become major players by hating the USA or capitalism.
Lets get to work, work on our culture, work on our society, work on our schools, work on our economy, work on our laws, work ...
That is the only way to conquer the world now, I don't want Nigeria seating on the security council if we haven't earned it.
Do you?
