Nice to see a series of dominoes fall our way recently...

Yeah, but just remember it does NOT mean that Bush administration diplomacy, intelligence and military muscle is working (even though Bush has concentrated more attention on Africa, by far, than any previous American president, with a special emphasis on vastly increased aid, a wide array of policies encouraging good governance, the rule of law, and since 9-11 has put significant American special forces and other military resources into ungoverned regions of Africa, like Somalia and other parts of the horn of Africa, from which this perp apparently fled, to Kenya, where the forces that apparently caught him were very possibly trained by the American military).

Right ON!

President Bush and this administration has done more for the world than anybody seems to comprehend.

Europeans talk. Liberals caterwaul. Texans act.

Oh, yeah, and I forgot to mention that the Bush administration had developed an uncommonly close relationship with Kenya, working with it as a key partner in one of the Bush administration's very first foreign policy initiatives: Ending the Second Sudanese (North-South) Civil War.

But that doesn't have anything to do with this either.

Besides, ending that war wasn't very important anyway, apparently -- even though it was one of the longest (1983-2005) and deadliest (2 million civilians killed, 4 million displaced, tens of thousands enslaved) conflicts of the 20th Century -- as the press barely covered the Bush administration's efforts or its success.

And even if it was "important," it wasn't really good, since we all know Bush only tackled this one because the issue was important to American evangelicals, upset because the Southern Sudanese being killed, displaced and enslaved were Christian. We all know that nothing America does is good unless out of purely disinterested (or better yet, contrainterested) multicultural motives.
