A cry of warning sounded by Joseph Ashby:

From "When tyranny calls," (American Thinker, http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/10/when_tyranny_calls.html)

History is calling with the warning that tyranny is at our doorstep

Re: Decolonialization and Decivilization

[brezhnev]

I do not blame the conflicts on the British Left. I blame the British failure in many cases to crush the nastiest factions of rebels before independence, thus dooming the new nations to continued civil war or bloody despotism, on the British Leftist idealization of "anti-colonialists."

As for what happened in Rhodesia, the British were so busy playing footsie with the Marxist rebels that the Rhodesians had to declare independence. This continued even after that, and Margaret Thatcher herself -- not what one usually considers a leftist -- refused to help the British people in Rhodesia. I'm not sure if this was due to injured pride over the Unilateral Declaration of Independence, or crying crocodile tears over "racism" and "colonialism", but either way, she sold out her people.

And the Rhodesians did fight a valiant fight, but in the end they caved in to world pressure. Then there was another Henry Kissinger disaster, and the rest is history.
