Human Rights Watch reporting abuses in Mali Crusade

They've been reporting them all along of course, in the context of the various Northern Mali militias, Islamic and not so much, hacking off limbs etc.

But barely a week into "Operation Spurs for Hollande" they are ominously reporting that our allies in the Malian army are in fact committing human rights abuses right there under the noses of the noble French crusaders.

How is such a thing even possible?

This underlines the difficulties that inevitably ensue when the master race (no no no!!! not the French for God's sakes! We're talking about the Nations of Virtue in general... NATO without all those iffy "partners" they've added out of political expediency over the last twenty years) involves itself in the politics of "less developed" nations.

We are essentially choosing sides in a civil war. It is no surprise that we have chosen the side that is sworn to genuflect to Western power and to commit themselves to giving their lives to preserve the outreach projects of Western capitalism that manifest themselves as uranium mines, gold mines, and huge agri-business estates.

There are of course many Malians who do not share the values of our capitalist encroachments on their society.

That makes them terrorists.
