As Consequências Indesejáveis da Estupidez Americana

Uma das coisas mais básicas, elementares, é a de que guerras geram consequências indesejáveis. A Guerra ao terror gerou inúmeras péssimas consequências para os EUA, a mais recente é a crise no Mali. To the dismay of the US, junior Malian officers trained as part of $620m pan-Sahelian counter-terrorism initiative launched in 2002 to help four semi-desert states resist Islamic militancy took part in a coup in March last year. Others among them defected to the Tuareg revolt that eventually led to a coalition of Islamist militias, allied with Algerian militants from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, capturing the northern two-thirds of Mali. Potentially, these US-trained officers are now using US counter-insurgency knowhow against France’s intervention force.
