When former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was asked whether half a million dead Iraqi children who perished under US sanctions was a price worth paying to try to remove Saddam Hussein, she replied that it was. Ask David Cameron or Nicolas Sarkozy whether the destruction of Libya and all the lives lost was [...]
Shaka Zulu – heard of him? Of course you have – one of the most revered and feared Sub-Sahara African leaders of all time. Pretty much all of the articles that have been written about him portray him as the unifier of many smaller chiefdoms into one great Zulu nation as well as a great [...]
