Though you may agree or not with their content, certain letters leap off the page at you. I was struck by such a letter in today's Vancouver Sun:
Re: Gadhafi's death likely an execution, Oct. 21
Welcome the new Age of Barbarism, where the once and future colonial powers in Europe and America use the guise of liberation to restore foreign domination of Africa.
Now a linchpin of African independence has been replaced by an ad hoc coalition of jihadist and Western agents.
The very manner of the end of Gadhafi brings shame to all. But the great embarrassment of him testifying to the relations between his former government and the Western powers is now avoided. One hopes things will turn out well for Libyans but this start is deeply troubling.
