The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.
Kofi is from Ghana. Ghana is next to the Ivory Coast, which is next to Liberia. The Sudan is next to Egypt and the Middle East. Any wonder why France and the UN are worried about the humanitarian crises in the Ivory Coast and Liberia, but not in Sudan, South Africa, or the eastern portion of Africa? I don't.
