Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - instigation. responsibility

 i am glad to agree with gloria.

the rationals always want to justify their predation by bringing god into it. the aamericans actually used the words, "Manifest destiny" to describe conquering vast territories from mexico or native peoples.

what was colonialism: the wwhite man's burden; kulturarbeit; la mission civilisatrice.

the word "mission" means project or work assignment, but also mission as in missionary work.
