I suppose that this massacre proves the outgoing president of the Ivory Coast had good reason to stay in power after losing the election.
So, is France going to bomb the paramilitary columns of the democratically-elected President of the Ivory Coast in order to protect a civilian minority from massacres like these?
Let this serve as a lesson to advocates of the 'partition' solution for peace in Libya, where some rebel outfit territory is recognized by Western nations as the 'government in waiting' and UN peacekeepers stand guard over an artificial geographic construct of a divided nation like is being proposed in the stalemate against Ghadafy.
President George Washington, on behalf of anti-Interventionist Americans everywhere, I apologize to you for failing you.
His term was actually extended TWICE by the UN because the instability (read, Muslim rioting) in the country made it impossible to hold elections. He won the election, btw, but Ouattara did the usual leftist thing of claiming fraud (the major fraud was actually the vote suppression of Christian voters in the north, Ouattara's Islamic territory), refusing to accept the results, and demanding a recount. After a bit, he got the numbers he needed, and of course the Organization of Islamic States (and the US) demanded that the election be overturned and Ouattara be awarded the presidency.
