Some nationalist Africans are so dumb

There is a certain strain of nationalist, anti-Western, African pseudo-intellectuals who cast Qadhdhafi, Gbagbo, and Sankara as great leaders. Of what, they can't really say, other than of "resistance".

I doubt any of them knows history enough to be aware of how Qadhdhafi constantly betrayed Africa, for example by supporting Charles Taylor, who would eventually arrange for hundreds of thousands of West Africans to be killed.
