Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - ECOWAS on the coup in Niger

Cowards. Why doesn't ECOWAS take their threatened military action against the other countries that are currently under military rule?  

Is it because they think that they can bully Niger into submission? 

Uncle Sam himself of course would think more than twice before taking direct military action against e.g. North Korea, the Russian Federation, Mighty China, or the Islamic Republic of Iran.

What is the justification for a coup in a democracy? If the soldiers have better ideas why do they not simply jettison the uniform, present the ideas, and have the people elect them into power. This is pure selfisness, arrogance, and from past experience, the desire to be heads of state and amass wealth.
