they are not white, and it isn't interfering with oil production.

So, what's the problem?

intervene.

Yet, no US national interests are in play here, so, .... meh.


(I am not actually advocating unilateral US military force, just observing that it is conspicuously absent.)

(Reuters) - The United Nations warned Islamist Boko Haram militants on Tuesday that there was no statute of limitations if they carried out their leader's threat to sell more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped last month.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video released on Monday that Allah (God) had told him to sell the girls taken by his fighters from a secondary school in the village of Chibok, in northeastern Borno state, on April 14.

"We warn the perpetrators that there is an absolute prohibition against slavery and sexual slavery in international law. These can under certain circumstances constitute crimes against humanity," U.N. human rights spokesman Rupert Colville told a news briefing in Geneva.

"That means anyone responsible can be arrested, charged, prosecuted, and jailed at any time in the future. So just because they think they are safe now, they won't necessarily be in two years, five years or 10 years time," he said.

They aren't going to stop until someone stops them.

Only an efficient Nigerian government that actually wants to fight such a battle could do something about it.

All of the outside support in the world won't matter if the government is apathetic.

if/when the kidnappings start to happen in the Christian southern half of the country...

K&R for exposure!

Let them be a lesson to every other SOB who may think of committing the same abomination.

that the fundamentalist views espoused by their culture suck and are whacko? When will they speak up against this instead of giving implied approval by their silence?

In the interim, where are the self-appointed policemen of the world, viz. US, UK, AU et al who are so quick to send troops for something as little as bruised egos?

Actions speak louder.

We haven't done anything to squeeze the funding sources of Boko Haram -- i.e. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar and given them an ultimatum to call off their dogs or else.

One call or statement from Saudi Arabia's government will make the terrorists return the girls pronto.

You're seeing this as a Muslim thing?

And yah I know I get flamed for me saying that.

... on the best way to control women. If they could, they'd probably do the same thing here.
