#BringBackOurGirls: what you do instead of something

Meanwhile, Nigerians calling for arms to actually defend themselves.

Update: Operation Pouty Face:

But if your selective outrage is really up in arms about this one, movie stars with the hash tag, I’ve got a simple solution for you. Take some of your millions of dollars and hire some mercenaries to go into Africa to shoot all the members of Boko Haram.

It is a failure, I think, of modern western culture to think you can shame a bunch of dirt-scratching savages.

    It’s not just a failure of Western Liberal Culture, it’s a mental disorder that they think so highly of “shaming” as an effective means of ANYTHING.
    It also reveals their belief in the Orwellian “Two “Minute Hate.

    Where are the ‘Wild Geese’ when you need them.

    I know ‘Mad’ Mike Hoare is long gone but someone like him and a band of fellow adventurers need to do the deed.

    You make the mistake of equating foreign with savage, I think.

    All indications are that Boko Haram is a sophisticated, modern operation led by intelligent persons, who just happen to have a very different moral, ethical and legal understanding of the world than almost everyone else, which allows them to conduct child sex trafficking as a part of their operation.

    Hell, Mao and Stalin and Hitler led to the killing of more people than any other threesome on earth, ever, and nobody calls them savages, just a totalitarian fascist and two successful communists.

    Savagery is not necessarily perpetrated only by savages.

    Mikee, you just described savagery. Each of the mass murderer dictators you named have had their actions described beyond count as savage. Savagery is not synonymous with ignorance, and the author didn’t claim it was. But, savagery can often be the direct result of a completely different moral and ethical codes.

    Wait…what?
    Nigerians don’t have arms? Is Niger a gun free zone?
    Do they have “common sense” gun laws-you know…”for the children”?
    Their daughters are simply taken to serve as sex slaves and wives? Their villages run red with “religious justification”?
    How can that come to be?

    Read a bit about the Sierra Leone Civil War and the S African PMC Executive Outcomes. EO wins the war against the nasties in the RUF in a few months after arriving. The RUF agrees to enter a peace treaty…….and then the the UN forces the govt to kick EO out of the country. Predictably, the RUF regroups against the crappy peacekeepers put in place and the war starts all over again.

    The tweets are not for the kidnappers. The tweets are for Obama’s twits, the 47%, here in America. “He cares and he’s doing something!”

    Hell, they are on the market at less that $13/head. Warner Brothers would have snatched them up for extras, and one or two would have made it to the casting couch.

    Let’s not over-think “Hollywood solutions” to world problems. Non-evidentially speaking, some of the current State Dept staff appears to have trained there.

    Come on guys…clearly the administration is bravely taking a stand against bullying. Its working so well with Putin…it should work in this case too.

  11. Paul Kisling Says:

    Modern western culture? You mean materialism and a gimme gimme entitlement complex??

    I know of no other actual culture that actually considers this culture.

  12. kristophr Says:

    Taking non-islamics as slaves is considered good moslem behavior.

    We need to be at war with these people, and not trying to shame them with tweets.

  13. Bram Says:

    I must be a terrible person because I laughed at Chuck Schumer’s proposal – offer a reward for the girls. In other words, buy them back.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
