Since the American regime set up its African military command a few years ago, it has been looking for ever more excuses to intervene. It is hoping to counter the soft economic power of China with its hard power of violence.
The intervention in Libya to overthrow Colonel Gaddafi's government was its first major success.
Last week we had the Kenya shopping mall massacre, perpetrated by the U.S. allies known popularly as Al Qaeda. Earlier this year we had the Al Qaeda intervention in Mali designed to induce a NATO intervention. The French regime duly rallied to the cause, invading its former colony to help keep order.
And now after the Kenya massacre, inevitably, we have further U.S. encroachments - a raid in Libya and a raid in Somalia.
Libya, like Pakistan, is supposed to be a nation friendly to the U.S., but that doesn't prevent unilateral American military action.
Precedents are being established.
The American regime can intervene anywhere in Africa, whenever it wants.
