I am wondering what America will gain if, in an unlikely twist of events, Boko Haram gathers traction like ISIL and takes over most of Northern Nigeria in a major shift of loyalty by the local people there? Perhaps, America will then, in panic, start looking for international coalition partners to stop Boko Haram? Perhaps they will begin to lob expensive missiles from the safety of their floating frigates at sea, leaving the ground mess for us to contend with, as they did in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and others? America has to re-examine its irritating policy of seeking to impose democracy and human rights around the world because it seems to have caused more harm than good, especially in fragile, Third World states and the Middle East, which has a cultural setting that is totally different from that of the West. They colluded with local activists to destabilise Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Iraq, and Syria would have followed suit if not for their support by Russia and China. Human rights in America are not the same as human rights in Saudi Arabia. In America, if you abuse Jesus Christ it’s “free speech”, but in Saudi if you abuse Prophet Mohammed you will be beheaded, and that’s flat!
