Boko Haram & the Tragic Convenience of Outrage

Boko-Haram’s  abduction of more than 200 young girls conceals a far greater tragedy that is indicative of what has become the era of the convenience-as-it-suits facility of U.S. Government Policy. The Public’s perception is built upon outrage and why not after all it is (or should be) our most precious ideal; life and the unalienable right of which we must never surrender!

The question is not whether we as a nation have a duty to assert a defense-of-life campaign; the question is far more disturbing. Why, after decades of tolerating the open and willful slaughter of millions, has the U.S. Government suddenly developed a conscience? Where are the British, Italians and French who’ve for centuries maintained wealth-extraction campaigns, in particular, over much of the North African continent? Why the sudden conscript of urgency?

Cynical as it may seem the fact remains we are in an age of righteous-indifference. It has become fashionable to appear conscientious when the convenience-as-it-suits facility identifies opportunity for advantage in a world where preserving or creating an illusion suits the moment. Cynical? Absolutely. Accurate? To a point of precision.
