being in ethiopia, no name

We ethiopians are very much sad about the Western perception of Democracy they have had for Africa, now we are getting clearer the reasons why people in the Arab & moslem states are becomig aggressive against west. The socalled national interest of herself which the western states tries to protect in Africa will inevitably end up with the entire collapse of international order and statequo. This is a phrophecy, though negative it may be.
