Kerry runs now to South Sudan to work his magic [he's starting to remind me a bit of that foppish waterfly Osric from Hamlet] and immediately gets about threatening sanctions on the belligerents as if people involved in a brutal ethnically driven tribal war are really gonna give a shit about sanctions - which makes one wonder: are threats of sanctions becoming argot for the Obama administration's dawning realization that the world ain't at all like they so badly wanted to believe it was and they just don't have a damn clue what to do about it?

And why isn't this the ANC's problem? Or China - they wanna buy up Africa, let them deal with it. But of course they wouldn't do so in a properly enlightened progressive's way - liberals - they wanna think culture doesn't matter, historical context doesn't matter, that we're all equal beneath that incovenient surface and it just takes a bit of understanding and high minded rhetoric to reveal it - yeah, definitely argot for we don't have a fucking clue.
