Again: Reader, check your possible involvement! Have you believed in silly but vicious fairy tells of colonial powers being democratic and seeking democracy's spread? North America was stolen from its indigenous natives, Africans enslaved for their labor, half of Mexico raped away, a million Filipinos butchered for their land? Democratically?
With US genocide still ongoing, progressive neo-colonialist journalism slaps the hands of Somali warlords in an example of back-handed support for silly but vicious fairy tales:
8/20/2012, Christian Science Monitor : "Somalia's rulers must make the crucial step, going from being an unelected interim authority toward creating a more lasting government."
Smooth commentating?

It was
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate to be President Jimmy Carter, who, in mid
1979, first encouraged and used Islamic fundamentalist terror by
ordering the secret funding, arming and training of non-Pashtun Afghani
warlord armies of fundamentalist men fearful of the new popular
women-liberating Socialist government in Kabul, which was providing
unwanted schooling for their daughters and wives. (The most infamous
warlord the US funded was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, known for spraying acid
on unveiled women while still a university student.) [2]"-
It is
well known that the CIA funded al Qaeda during its beginning through
payments to Osama bin Laden, who, along with thousands of Arabs of the
strict Saudi Wahabi sect, had been invited into that part of Afghanistan
controlled by the CIA, after the Soviets had entered Afghanistan to
protect its ally in Kabul. There is an amazing video of Presidential
Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski speaking to newly arrived, CIA imported,
Arab fighters, calling for jihad against the Soviet army and the Kabul
government.[3]
Thereafter, it was the US Holocaust in Iraq that
produced the greatest growth of al Qaeda, which entered and further
sprang up in that country to fight Americans, who again were mercilessly
invading another Muslin nation that had been friendly to the US. In
the case of Iraq, even merciless to the point of CIA having helped
Saddam Hussein to power and later partnering with Saddam during his
horrific million death invasion of Iran, that had so gratified President
Reagan and his Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld.[4]
Subsequently,
the criminal speculative investment banking conspiracy, which rules
most of the world from Wall Street, had its outright owned US
government[5], hire battle seasoned al Qaeda recruits to fake a revolt
in wealthy and prosperous Libya, which had been the poorest nation in
Africa under oil plundering British and French colonial domination, only
to become the 53rd highest quality of life nation in the world (higher
than nine European nations, according to the 2010 UN Index), under its
Arab Socialist government. For nine weeks the captive CNN world
satellite audience heard obviously tough looking hombres in heavy
weapons laden pick-up trucks hailed as 'freedom fighters' 'from all
walks of life.'
For two years now the CIA has been running
another faked 'spontaneous' revolt in yet another previously well run,
sophisticated nation in the cradle of civilization, with, as in the case
of Iraq and Libya, fine free health care and education through PhD for
all its citizens. (America has liberated sixty million from such
benefits). With all the unnecessary gall in a world watching CIA fed
CNN,
US officials proclaim their CIA's right to hire, arm and train
whomsoever to overthrow the proven popular government of Syria, no
matter that al Qaeda within America's "freedom fighter' opposition
armies executes civilians, even teenagers, and is now famous for the
video of an opposition leader cutting out and eating the heart of a
Syrian soldier.
As in the case of Libya, without a single really
corroborating video or photo, the angel of death President of the US
has the confidence to lie that President Assad (as the year before, that
Revolutionary Leader Gadaffi) "is killing his own people." Al Qaeda, a
now world wide amorphous movement, can be used to butcher or as an
excuse to bomb, depending on what is profitable.
After twelve
years of genocidal Western occupation, the al Qaeda that the US brought
into Persian speaking Afghanistan is still the excuse for the white
armies to continue to turkey shoot members and adherents of Taliban, the
former recognized government of what was left of Afghanistan after the
US backed and armed warlords saw to infighting that brought the nation
to unimaginable violent chaos, with widespread raping of women and
complete lawlessness, until defeated by national-salvation minded
religious Taliban ('Taliban' means 'students' in Pashun language). In
spite of the tragic toll taken on these Afghani battling invaders with
by superior weaponry, Taliban has remained in power throughout most of
the countryside of Afghanistan.
US drone missiles continue to
turn al Qaeda and whomever happens to be nearby into 'bugsplats' in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen. Do Americans, English and
citizens of other white nation members of collaborating NATO and beyond,
bite their tongue when reading of the US use of al Qaeda first in
Afghanistan, then in Libya, now in Syria and most probably in Iraq?
Finally
the super gruesome daily suicide bombings in Iraq of as many victims as
ninety in a single day, going on now for a year or more, bears mention
in regard to US involvement in al Qaeda.
What would the heartless
automaton bankers of profitable genocide working for total globalized US
hegemony not do to keep 65% Shiite Iraq from a normal and to be
expected political rapprochement and cooperation with 95% Shiite Iran.
(Please, don't any reader fall for that sap about of 'sectarian
violence' between Sunni and Shiite, who have intermarried everywhere
over the last thousand years.) Notice that there are no serious US plans
to help the Shiite majority Iraq government save its citizens from
being slaughtered, and notice that US media which ran the story of the
sixty lives lost Kenya shopping mall massacre for two weeks, devotes
prime time news to no more than reporting the daily number of dead in
Iraq massacres.
It is exceedingly probable that the US is
somehow covertly heavily involved in the al Qaeda and other Sunni
suicide attacks on Shiites in Iraq. Even if somehow were not,
Washington certainly would have the power through its satellite Saudi
Arabia to mitigate this stupid, astounding loss of precious life for
ordinary, read wonderful, men, women and children.
What is not
being sufficiently often pointed out is these overt US atrocities, and
this decades ongoing American produced genocide will only come to an
end, either when there is planetary destruction, or when powerful
speculative private investors calculating profit, are forced to enter a
factor of possible imprisonment and seizure of assets to compensate
wrongful deaths, injuries, destruction of property and theft of natural
resources (as explained on the educational and stimulus to action
website Prosecute US Crimes Against Humanity Now, endorsed by former US
Attorney General Ramsey Clark and containing the pertinent laws,
exhortations by Einstein, Helen Keller, Eugene Debs and others and
featuring a country-by-country history of US crimes in nineteen (and
counting) nations - and a link to the Howard Zinn co-founded King
Condemned US Atrocity Wars and Covert Genocide on Three Continents for

1974,
US encouraged, heavily armed and aided a bloody Somalian invasion of
Ethiopia when a military coup by leftist officers topples the Ethiopian
monarchy and declares the country a Marxist-Leninist state.
1976, in a
reversal, US covertly supplied arms and support to all foreign based
attempts to violently overthrow the 1976 founded revolutionary socialist
government in Somalia for its receiving aid from the USSR; large-scale
American military support of Somalia's historic rival Ethiopia, then
under the rule of the feudal emperor Haile Selassie.

the
1980s, despite warnings by Africa specialists, human rights groups and
humanitarian organizations that continued American aid to the
dictatorial government of Siad Barre would eventually plunge Somalia
into chaos. US poured in more than $50 million of arms annually to prop
up this disastrous Barre dictatorship while offering virtually no
assistance that would have helped build a self-sustaining economy which
could feed Somalia's people. In addition, the United States pushed a
structural adjustment program through the International Monetary Fund
severely weakening the local agricultural economy. Combined with the
breakdown of the central government, drought conditions and rival
militias disrupting food supplies, there was famine on a massive scale,
resulting in the deaths of more than 300,000 Somalis, mostly children.
