Angolan Civil War

Some of you think that the Israeli lobby protects Israel not only from the United States, but from enforcement of the more than 60 United Nations resolutions directed against Israeli abuses of Palestinians and neighboring countries.

Some of you probably think that Clinton and company are lying about ethnic cleansing just because they've done nothing about Tibet's occupation and one million killed or the two million dead in the Sudanese civil war Are the 1 million dead in the Angola Civil War? Are the 65,000 dead in the Algerian civil conflict? Are the 40,000 dead in the Nagorno-Karabakh civil conflict? Are the 750,000 killed in Rwanda? And so on and so on and so forth.

Shame on you for being a cynic.

Don't you know that American voters decided character doesn't matter? But if it did, you could count on Clinton to tell the truth about everything except his sex life, financial arrangements with the Chinese, and what he really thinks about Al Gore.

It is this paralysis that causes the diaphragm to clam up, ultimately leading to death by asphyxiation.

Previously to being smeared on the face of the man at the airport, VX was reported to have been wielded by Cubans during the Angolan Civil War, Saddam Hussein during the Halabja chemical attack, and Doomsday cult member Masami Tsuchiya to kill 12 people in a subway attack.

As part of the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, every country in the world except three signed an agreement to halt production and destroy any stockpiles of VX and all other chemical weapons.

So as you can imagine, the fact that two women had used VX to kill a man in a crowded public space was very strange.

But as I served in the military, apartheid ended, thankfully.

And so we were then tasked with, OK, so who is the new enemy now? Because the Angolan War had finished for South Africa.

South Africa retreated behind the 22nd parallel, as per the agreement that was in place.

And we had to look at who are effectively the enemy and how do we address that.
