Why the U.S supports bad and wicked governments around the world for a time
By Kabs Kanu
The U.S backed President Mobutu of Zaire, Samuel K. Doe of Liberia and Siad Barre of Somali and poured millions of dollars in military and economic aid to their countries at the worst possible times in the history of these fragmented African nations when rampant corruption, dictatorship, bad governance and human rights abuses were rife.
Even the vocal and vibrant U.S. media are at a loss at times to understand their country’s foreign policy and why they support and in some cases arm totalitarian and abusive countries around the world that are busy harming their people.
