"HATE IS THE ONLY THING THAT LASTS"

...AND FORCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL IT

THE UN SUICIDE MISSION IN CONGO: Playing UN Roulette is placing five rounds in a six round revolver and then spinning it before placing the gun to your head. A UN "Peacekeeping Force" has been sent into The Congo but restricted to Bunia a so-called capital. "Hey guys, you want to find the Western Imperialists? I know right where they are." Glad we're not in this one. The hate in the Congo is of the same type that possesses the Mid-East.

"Hate is the only thing that lasts" to quote my man Bukowski, and boy oh boy does it ever last.

Acting out feuds and arguments that go back thousands of years is what much of the world has become. The end of any tyranny simply allows the re-birth of hates that have been stewing for thousands of years. Good intentions or dreams of democracy cannot end something everybody wants to continue. White fueled hate rampages in our country were ended because exponentially more whites demanded the end of things than there were whites who wanted them to continue. Police, troops, FBI, and the courts ended the lynchings, killings, and kidnappings.

Tito, Stalin, and Saddam knew the power of the police state to keep everyone in line. When tyrants like they get ousted so freedom can happen, it's hate that happens not freedom. The colonial powers kept Moslems and Hindus from killing each other, the Hemas and Lindus from tribal slaughter in the Congo, and hundreds of other tribal massacres from taking place in other countries. Saddam kept the Sunnis and Shias from killing each other in a hate feud that goes back 1,500 years.

I have no idea how to end hate other than by continuing presence of force; either democratic or authoritarian. It's just the way it is. The price for continuing hate fueled violence has to be far greater than the immediate gratification obtained from killing your enemy.
