Where Should Tie Backs Go

BURMA

I believe that what is happening in Burma should make us reflect, let's start with some signs of recent history: Burma was administratively separated from India in 1937, but remained under the British Crown. Became independent like India in '47 and in 1962 there was a coup after which political rights were abolished, were nationalized all economic activities and thus became part of Burma then, many communist paradise. There were other coups that led Burma to be unique in history, a military regime - communist. In the late 80's last free elections were held, which led to a democratic regime that was overthrown and violently suppressed, and the rest is history.

What I want to emphasize, is also what happened in India since 1947: now a million deaths among Hindus and Muslims (who had lived peacefully under British rule), two wars with Pakistan, India is also endowed with nuclear weapons and the Indian navy is the fifth in the world! While Indian leaders thought to arms, to save millions of lives in India was the usual orrible making its first U.S. multinational food transegnico history: the magic rice

Here I refer not - obviously - to the people India and its ancient culture, do not criticize the great work of human, social and policy pursued by Gandhi, what is the total support of the political elite and criminal failure of the subcontinent India.

This failure was not an exception but the rule all the nations that emerged from the decolonization of the Congo and Lumumba Kasavubu, Gaddafi of Libya, Algeria, Angola and Mozambique (among other things in the hands of the Cubans), the only case in which emancipation was resolved positively was perhaps the Kenya Jomo Kenyatta.

The question that arises is therefore: it was all bad colonialism and the so-called emancipation, all right? I think not: at the present time is patently absurd to imagine colonies ruled by regimes such as paternalistic which persisted until the 60s, but I believe that these arrangements have evolved and have gradually ceded power to the natives, while ensuring the protection of human rights, civil rights, and would give an impression to those democratic nations. What happened instead was the expulsion of Westerners from sordid characters that often bloody, under the guise of the struggle for independence, in a case aimed at personal power, in the statement of Marxist or Maoist worse.

The story was repeated in Egypt, where the Westerners were to build the Suez Canal, then we were thrown into badly and ended the power in the hands of a character as Gamal Abdel Nasser, head of two wars that had as its objective the extermination of Israel and said that one day that the Palestinian problem will never be resolved, as is the best tool of blackmail against the West.

We should stop and reflect on the fact that the law - supported by the white man's duty Kipling has perhaps taken damage, but also did much good (education, health, religion, work) and this is going on for 50 years in the so-called emancipated Nations is nothing but an ocean of violence and abuse.
